In Ba guio strong aftershocks forced residents into the streets and slowed rescue work after last week's 7.7 magnitude quake. The death toll rose beyond 1000, including an Edmonton woman and her Filipino husband found among Hyatt Hotel rubble. President Aquino urged Congress to approve a 500 million relief package to rebuild infrastructure, while Rep Andaya proposed suspending debt payments for two years to free funds. Defense chief Ramos noted over 3000 injured and 700 missing, with hopes fading at the Hyatt hotel site.
