The Philippine Seismological Agency (Phivolcs) said the magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck just two kilometres southwest of Calaca City in Batangas at 12:43 am local time.

It was recorded at a depth of 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) and was felt at Intensity III in the capital Metro Manila, some 135 kilometres (84 miles) away.

Phivolcs said damage and aftershocks were expected. There were no initial reports of injuries or casualties.

The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands inside the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' where the majority of Earth's volcano eruptions and earthquakes happen.
