Magnitude 6.0 at a depth of 61km.

Epicentre reported as 26km northwest of Olongapo (Subic Bay).

It lasted about 90 seconds.

No reports of damage or injuries yet.
 
No reports of damage or injuries from this today.

Duration of earthquake may have been shorter than I reported; my observations based on my condo shaking (am on a high floor)... and the building probably continued swaying for a while after the quake itself ended.

Was a 'rolling' shock, not a violent shudder. Chandelier lights were swaying maybe 20cm, blinds were rattling in the windows.
 
reports said it was intensity 3 in Metro manila. i felt it. initially i thought the Tripel i was drinking had snuck up on me. until i saw ripples in the the glass.
