Earthquake rocks Metro Manila, parts of Luzon




A strong earthquake shook Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon past noon Thursday, state seismologists said.

Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) chief Renato Solidum Jr. estimated the quake’s magnitude between 5.9 to 6.2, pending official measurements.

The epicenter of the off-shore quake was estimated 60 kilometers west of Luzon at the South China Sea, Solidum added.

The Phivolcs chief said the quake is not expected to generate tsunamis because “it was not too strong."

The quake was felt in various parts of Metro Manila, Bataan and Mindoro island.

No damage was initially reported, Solidum said.
