MANILA, Philippines - A predawn quake that state seismologists said was an aftershock of a "major" quake Saturday last week rocked parts of Southern Luzon, including Metro Manila, on Thursday.
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) seismologist Rommel Grutas said the aftershock was recorded at 2:04 a.m. Thursday.
"Usually pag malaki ang lindol, series of aftershocks ang nagaganap (After a major quake, you have to expect a series of aftershocks)," he said in an interview on dzBB radio.
Grutas said the "main quake" occurred before noon last Saturday near Mamburao in Occidental Mindoro province, at magnitude 6.5.
He said the epicenter of Thursday's predawn quake was traced to 42 km northwest of Mamburao in Mindoro Occidental, at magnitude 5.3.
Initial reports reaching Phivolcs showed Thursday's quake was felt at Intensity 4 in Paluan in Occidental Mindoro, which Grutas said was enough to jolt people from sleep.
The quake was felt at Intensity 3 in Puerto Galera, and Intensity 2 in Tagaytay City, Makati City, Quezon City, and Muntinlupa City.
"Sa Makati maraming makaramdam niyan pag sa high-rise building, usually upper floors (It can be felt in Makati, especially in the upper floors of high-rise buildings)," he said. - GMANews.TV
