Mild earthquake rocked mainland Mindanao

A mild earthquake rocked mainland Mindanao early Sunday morning but
there was not reported casualties or damages to properties, the
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said
today.

The Cotabato Phivolcs station based in PC Hill, Cotabato City recorded
a magnitude 5.1 quake at about 7:27 a.m.

"It was tectonic in origin," Phivolcs-Cotabato said in a bulletin.

The epicenter was traced about 58 kilometers southwest of Datu Piang,
Maguindanao.

But Phivolcs could not specify as of yet where the earthquake was felt.

It was a mild quake that the locals have not felt in Cotabato City.
