MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – A magnitude 5.2 earthquake hit Sarangani town in Davao del Sur late Tuesday, October 29, but no damage was expected from the tremor.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said in its website that the earthquake was tectonic in origin and hit at 11:45 pm.
The epicenter was 188 kilometers southeast of the municipality. (Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this story referred to the town’s namesake province, Sarangani, instead. Our apologies.)
Phivolcs said no damage or aftershock is expected from the quake.
Earlier this month, a magnitude 7.2 quake hit Central Visayas, killing over 200 people and destroying homes, bridges, roads, and iconic churches that drew tourists to the region. The provinces of Bohol and Cebu were the worst hit. The quake was so powerful it was also felt in Mindanao. – Rappler.com
