Explosions in the business district of the Philippine capital and two southern cities have killed at least seven people and wounded more than 100, with besieged Muslim rebels claiming two of the attacks.

The three blasts came within an hour of one another on Monday as people were leaving work or going out for a romantic meal on Valentine's Day.

"The ground was shaking," said a man in the southern city of General Santos after four people were killed in a blast at a shopping mall.

"The people were screaming and running in all directions."
