An Intensity 5 tectonic earthquake jolted Tagum City in Davao province on Sunday night, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said yesterday.

"The earthquake which registered a Magnitude 6.1 on the Richter Scale was also felt an Intensity 4 in Mati, Davao Oriental; at Intensity 3 in Bislig, Surigao del Sur and Cagayan de Oro City, Misamis Oriental; and at Intensity 2 in Butuan City and Davao City," Phivolcs said.
