Two people were killed in Benguet province, one in Abra province, and one more in another province, Interior Secretary Benjamin Abalos told a news conference.
Sixty people were injured, he said.
The quake struck about 11km southeast of the town of Dolores at a shallow depth of 10km, according to United States Geological Survey data.
"Despite the sad reports about the damage caused by the earthquake, we are assuring quick response to those in need and affected by this calamity," President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said on Facebook.
-ADVERTISEMENT-Ads by The quake hit close to the Marcos family's political stronghold.
Renato Solidum, director of the state seismology agency, told DZRH radio station strong aftershocks were expected.
"The focus of attention is on Abra and nearby provinces. This is a major earthquake," Solidum said.

Abalos said 173 buildings were damaged and 58 landslides reported, with 44 of the 60 injured in Abra province.
A hospital in Abra province was evacuated after the building partially collapsed but there were no casualties reported there, officials said.
Abra vice-governor Joy Bernos posted photos of the damaged Abra hospital on her Facebook account, which showed a gaping hole in its facade.
Other photos showed hospital beds, including one with a patient, being wheeled across a road and evacuated hospital staff.
Abra, home to nearly 250,000 people, is a landlocked province in the northern Philippines. Its deep valleys and sloping hills are enclosed by rugged mountains.
The Philippines is prone to natural disasters and is located on the seismically active Pacific "Ring of Fire", a band of volcanoes and fault lines that arcs round the edge of the Pacific Ocean.
Earthquakes are frequent and there are an average of 20 typhoons each year, some triggering deadly landslides.
Eric Singson, a congressman in Ilocos Sur province, also in the north, told DZMM radio station the quake had been felt strongly there and lasted 30 seconds or more.

"I thought my house would fall. Now, we are trying to reach people... right now there are aftershocks so we are outside our home."
The quake damaged heritage buildings in the city of Vigan, known for its old Spanish colonial architecture, on the west coast of Luzon.
Tourist Edison Adducul told radio he was taking photos of the Bantay Church Bell tower in Vigan when the quake struck, shaking the tower for up to three minutes.
Senator Imee Marcos said several churches were damaged.
"The antique bricks and coral stones fell from the Bantay Bell Tower," she said.
The quake was also felt in Manila where several buildings were evacuated, with some people forced to flee from the 30th floor of one building, and the city's metro rail systems were halted at rush hour. – REUTERS
