Magnitude-6 quake felt from Pangasinan to Cavite, no reports of damage
At least three aftershocks rocked Luzon after a powerful magnitude-6.0 quake hit the area early Sunday, state seismologists said. But the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said the three aftershocks as of 8 a.m. were weak, radio dzBB's Roland Bola reported. Phivolcs also cited more areas in Luzon where the quake was felt, from Pangasinan in the north to Cavite in the south. Earlier, Phivolcs measured the quake at magnitude 6.0, and warned of possible aftershocks, although it said damage to property is not likely. The dzBB report quoted Phivolcs as saying the quake was felt also in the following areas not mentioned in an earlier report:
- Intensity IV: Bolinao, Pangasinan; Makati City; Candelaria, Zambales - Intensity III- Quezon City; San Fernando, La Union; Iba, Zambales - Intensity II: Bacoor Cavite; Plaridel, Bulacan - Intensity I: Tagaytay City
Earlier, Phivolcs said the quake was felt at Intensity IV in Makati City and Intensity III in Quezon City. Phivolcs director Renato Solidum Jr. also said there was no chance the quake would trigger a tsunami. — LBG, GMA News More Videos
