A magnitude 4.2 earthquake rattled an undersea area off Pangasinan Tuesday afternoon but caused no reported injuries or damage to property.
Jane Punongbayan, supervising science reseach specialist of the Philippine Institute for Volcanology and Seismology, said the epicenter of the quake was 77 kilometers from Lingayen, Pangasinan. She said the quake was felt at Intensity 3 in Ilocos Norte, Intensity 3 in Manila and Intensity 2 in Quezon City.
PHIVOLCS Director Renato Solidum said the agency received reports that the earthquake was felt as far as San Fernando, La Union; Bataan area and parts of Metro Manila.
A radio dzMM report said Malacañang employees evacuated the second and third floors of the palace after the quake struck.
Punongbayan said the quake is unlikely to cause a tsunami or even stronger aftershocks. “Usually only magnitude 7 earthquakes under the sea can cause a tsunami. This was only magnitude 4.2,” she told radio dzMM.
