MANILA, Philippines—A 6.0-magnitude earthquake shakes parts of Luzon, including Metro Manila around 3:31 a.m. Sunday, not 5.7-magnitude as reported earlier.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), through its website, corrected its earlier assessment.
The epicenter was 43 kilometers south east of San Antonio town in Zambales, with a depth of 85 kilometers, not 13 kilometers south east of San Antonio and 10 km in depth, as Phivolcs reported earlier.
Phivolcs also said Intensity 4 was felt in the cities of Pasig, Pasay, Manila, Quezon and Makati; San Mateo town in Rizal; and Obando and Hagonoy towns in Bulacan.
Intensity 3 was felt in San Miguel town in Tarlac and Tagaytay City in Cavite.
Phivolcs also said it was tectonic in origin.
No casualty and damage to properties have been reported as of posting.
