| Earthquake in the Philippines October 2, 2012 |
The 5.4-magnitude quake hit at around 2:25 p.m and centered at 10km southeast of Sergio OsmeÑa Sr., Zamboanga del Norte, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.
It added that the temblor was tectonic in origin and had a depth of 20 km.
Based on Twitter reports, the quake was felt in Zamboanga, Bohol, Dipolog, Dumaguete, Cagayan de Oro, Iligan, and other areas in Mindanao and Visayas.
Phivolcs said major damage is unlikely but it is expecting aftershocks from the quake.
The Philippines lies on the Pacific “Ring of Fire” where continental plates collide causing frequent seismic and volcanic activity.
Update: Phivolcs lowered the quake's magnitude down to 5.2
