That spinning feeling, coupled with a string of aftershocks, has left the 35-year-old tourism officer and many other survivors too scared to return to their homes, forcing them to live in tents temporarily.

The earthquake shook the northern coast of Cebu, one of the country's most populous islands, on the night of 30 September, jolting many out of their sleep.

It killed at least 68 people and wounded more than 500 others, as homes, buildings and churches collapsed and roads cracked.

"I still couldn't process what has happened to us," Ms Estalicas tells the BBC. "I am overwhelmed with the things we experienced in the last two days."
