Over three hundred more people were injured and twenty-three are missing.
Most of the fatalities and casualties occurred on Bohol island.
The government cautioned that all of those numbers could continue to increase, as some areas have not yet been reached.
Communications with some areas were completely knocked out and emergency crews have not yet been able to get everywhere.
Work crews are working to clear roads of land slides and repair damaged phone lines, while rescue workers search for victims under rubble.
Nearly one thousand after shocks have followed the big quake, with the largest being a 5.1.
