"Please don't worry about me, everything is okay, Thomas Markle said in a statement, according to the Daily Mail. The concern about his well-being was sparked by Samantha Markle, the half sister of the Duchess of Sussex, who posted on social media that her father was unable to leave his apartment after the quake struck Cebu Province on Tuesday night, at about 10 p.m. local time, the Daily Mail said."
"My father is stuck on the 19th floor of a building in the Philippines after a massive earthquake and he can't walk and he is trapped. As of today he is OK, and making plans to get out of that building, she also said, according to the New York Post. They seem to be safe for now, and hopefully there will be no serious aftershocks. Provisions are being made so that he won't be trapped in a similar situation again."
