“We have also recorded another two quakes early morning on Wednesday in Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon,” Labininay said.
Phivolcs recorded the tremor at 3:29 a.m. with a magnitude of 3.1 and a depth of focus at .001 kilometer.
Intensity 3 was felt in Manolo Fortich town while Valencia City felt the tremor at intensity 2.
