2 minor temblors felt in Batangas island town
LUCENA CITY — Two successive minor earthquakes hit the island town of Tingloy in Batangas on late Wednesday night, April 17.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported in its bulletin that a magnitude 3.1 tremor with a 5-kilometer depth of focus was recorded in Tingloy at 11:20 p.m.
At 10:51 p.m. in the same town, the only island municipality in the province, a magnitude 2.7 tremor with a 3-km depth of focus was also recorded. Both tectonic tremors were not expected to cause damage or aftershocks, the Phivolcs said.
Tectonic earthquakes are produced by sudden movement along faults and plate boundaries.
