Quake near Cebu

[d^2b]

Magnitude 6.7 sounds fairly big, but no tsunami or other damage was mentioned:

The story mentions Villaba, which is at the other end of Leyte from Sogod Bay. Anyway, I hope people around Cebu are OK.

The epicenter of the quake is at the northern tip of Cebu. I hope people living in (especially) Malapascua and other areas around this region are OK.
