TWO SURVIVORS FOUND 11 DAYS AFTER QUAKE

Rescuers found two survivors today in the rubble of the Hyatt Hotel 11 days after it collapsed in a devastating earthquake that killed more than 1,600 people.

Rescuers and spectators cheered as Eliza Mallorca was pulled out from the wreckage about 9:50 p.m. (8:50 a.m. EDT). The second survivor, Arnold Calavia, was recovered about an hour later.

Both were employees of the state-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp., which operated a gambling casino in the luxury hotel.

They were taken to the U.S. Air Force clinic at nearby Camp John Hay and were later transferred to the Baguio General Hospital.

Doctors said they were suffering from cuts and bruises and severe dehydration but were in surprisingly good condition after their ordeal.

Last week, foreign rescue teams abandoned the search for survivors of the massive quake, which struck July 16 and measured 7.7 on the Richter scale.

Filipino miners and other volunteers vowed to continue the search until all the missing had been accounted for.
