ZAMBOANGA CITY — At least 10 students of Universidad de Zamboanga were rushed to hospitals after they panicked and experienced shortness of breathing due to the magnitude 5.4 earthquake toward noon on Thursday.

Elmeir Apolinario, city disaster risk reduction and management officer, said the anxious students also figured in a stampede in the school as people scampered for safety.

“They were not injured; they panicked, got anxious, and experienced shortness of breathing,” Apolinario said. They were released after they had calmed down.

Globe Telecom Inc., in an advisory on Monday, warned against fraudsters who are pretending to be NTC officials but are only out to steal money from unsuspecting victims.
