A 6.2-magnitude earthquake shakes Calatagan, Batangas.



At 10:19 a.m., 15 kilometers southwest of the area, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) recorded a tectonic earthquake at a depth of 119 kilometers.

However, Phivolcs reported that no tsunami alert was issued in the aftermath of the earthquake.

Following the earthquake, several institutions, companies, and transportation networks experienced serious disruptions that necessitated temporary closures. According to the DZBB, pupils at the National Teacher's College in P. Casal, Manila.

As a safety precaution, it quickly shut down their graduation rehearsal and evacuated their classrooms. According to a faculty member who spoke with DZBB, the kids' experience with earthquake exercises facilitated a flawless evacuation, with no indications of surprise or fear being seen.

Light Rail Transit lines 1, 2, 3, and MRT-3 are suspended pending additional management team inspections, while Philippine National Railways (PNR) services are paused pending comprehensive inspections.

Because of its depth, the earthquake was felt in many places, according to Phivolcs head Teresito Bacolcol. The depth of the earthquake's source is what accounts for its vast effects; it may be compared to how a flashlight beam expands out and lights more space as it moves away from its source.



Intensity IV earthquake was felt in Quezon City; locals are urged to prepare for aftershocks and possible property damage. However, since the continuing assessment, neither significant harm nor fatalities have been observed.

Manila City, Mandaluyong City, Quezon City, Valenzuela City, Malolos, Bulacan, Batangas City, Ibaan, Lemery, Nasugbu, Talisay, Dasmarias, Tagaytay City, and Tanay, Rizal are among the locations with recorded felt intensities.

While perceived intensity was recorded by people using the Phivolcs Earthquake Intensity Scale, instrumental intensities were measured by instruments close to the epicenter.
