Magnitude-3.8 quake rocks Leyte - Phivolcs

A magnitude-3.8 quake rocked parts of Leyte in central Philippines early Monday morning, state seismologists said. In its 6:14 a.m. bulletin, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said the quake hit the Visayan province at 4:51 a.m. Its epicenter was traced northeast of Ormoc City, whose residents felt the quake at Intensity III, the Phivolcs said. GMA News received an information from a resident of Carigara town, which is north of Ormoc City, that the quake was also felt in the municipality. According to the Phivolcs, an earthquake felt at Intensity III means it was "felt by many people indoors especially in upper floors of buildings" and that "vibration is felt like one passing of a light truck." No damage or aftershocks are expected, the Phivolcs said. - Johanna Camille Sisante/RSJ, GMANews.TV
