Magnitude 3 earthquake hits Pangasinan
EARTHQUAKE – The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) confirmed that a Magnitude 3 earthquake hit Pangasinan on Saturday, June 13, 2020, at exactly 10:32 a.m.
Earthquakes hit without prior signs/warnings most of the time. Recently, several places in the country were struck off by quakes with different magnitudes.
Among the recent jolts that occurred in the country are the series of quakes in Davao which include a Magnitude 4.5, Magnitude 4.0, and a Magnitude 4.1.
The aforementioned locations were in Mindanao but earlier a Magnitude 3 earthquake struck off the coast of Pangasinan in Luzon.
According to its latest earthquake bulletin, the Magnitude 3 earthquake which struck off Pangasinan earlier was tectonic in origin and it hit at a depth of 19 kilometers.
There’s no immediate damage and aftershocks reported as of press time.
Phivolcs noted that the Magnitude 3 earthquake is “felt by many people indoors especially in upper floors of buildings. Vibration is felt like one passing of a light truck.”
“Dizziness and nausea are experienced by some people. Hanging objects swing moderately. Still water in containers oscillates moderately,” PHIVOLCS added.
Note: We will continue to monitor any incident regarding the Pangasinan earthquake and we will post an update here.
