RP struck by two earthquakes

MANILA (AP): Two earthquakes struck the northern and southern
Philippines on Sunday, with no immediate reports of damage or
casualties.

The first quake, with a magnitude of 5.7, hit at 6:30 a.m.
(5:30 a.m. Jakarta time) Sunday and was centered under the seabed
about 52 kilometers west of Batangas province, on the northern
main island of Luzon, according to the Hong Kong Observatory.

The earthquake was too deep to cause any damage, Vilma
Hernandez of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and
Seismology said. Aftershocks were expected.

Another quake jolted the southern Philippines about three
hours later with a preliminary magnitude of 5.4, and was centered
under the seabed about 52 kilometers off Mati town in Davao
Oriental province, Hernandez said.
