The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) detected a 3.7-magnitude earthquake in Romblon Province at approximately 2:25 pm on Monday, November 22.

The epicenter was traced 17 km southwest of Corqueira, Romblon, at a shallow depth of 14 km.

Phivolcs said he felt it as a “weak” tremor at Intensity III in the municipalities of Corqueira, Calatrava and San Andrés in Romblon County.

The shaking describes a weak jerk like the passing of a light truck and is felt by many people indoors, especially on higher floors or buildings.

The Phivolcs instruments also detected the earthquake at Intensity II in Roxas, Oriental Mindoro.
