PHIVOLCS: No tsunami threat following 6.6-magnitude quake in Cotabato

(Eagle News)–There is no tsunami threat to the Philippines, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said.

PHIVOLCS issued the advisory after a 6.6-magnitude quake hit Tulunan, Cotabato at 9:04 a.m.

The quake took place days after a 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck the province.

That earthquake left at least five people dead and several injured.

According to PHIVOLCS, Tuesday’s earthquake was the same as the 6.3-magnitude one.

“Ang epicenter nito ay sa lupa,” PHIVOLCS said.
