The tremor was felt across several provinces, with residents reporting intense shaking and precautionary evacuations in some coastal communities.
Officials from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) are assessing potential aftershocks and structural damage, while emergency teams have been placed on alert.
