A fourth Filipino has been reported injured in Wednesday's 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Taiwan, the Department of Migrant Workers said Friday. 

DMW Officer-in-Charge Hans Cacdac said the unnamed overseas Filipino sustained minor injuries, was treated in a hospital, and has since been discharged. 

“She sustained head injuries due to falling debris. She is out of harm's way and is being treated by a doctor,” Cacdac said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

So far, only 1 Filipino, 30-year-old Chris Gumahin, remains in the. hospital after passing out and losing consciousness for hours after the main shock.

"The DMW Migrant Workers Offices (MWO) in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung continue to monitor the situation and are ready to provide assistance to OFWs who need it," Cacdac said. 

Ten people were killed in Wednesday’s earthquake while 1,060 were reported injured and 38 people unaccounted for, local authorities said.

The temblor was the strongest to hit the country in 25 years.
