The earthquake hit an area off Nasugbu at 1:28 p.m., the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.
It said the quake was tectonic in origin — or there was a movement in the Earth’s crust – with a depth of 160 kilometers. Aftershocks are expected.
Nasugbu is around 100 km away from Manila City.
