MANILA – A magnitude 5.2 quake jolted Davao Occidental on Wednesday, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported.
The tectonic quake struck 318 km. southeast of Sarangani town at about 6:25 a.m. It had a depth of 79 km.
Phivolcs has not logged any reported intensities and instrumental intensities in its earthquake bulletin issued at 6:59 a.m.
