Earthquake jolts Philippines
An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 struck south of the Philippine capital early on Wednesday.
The agency said aftershocks could be expected, but the earthquake, which struck at a depth of 112 km (69.6 miles), was unlikely to cause damage.
"Because this is deep, a large area experienced the quake,"
Reportedly, the earthquake's epicentre was in Mindoro province and it was felt in the capital, Manila.
The Southeast Asian country is on the geologically active Pacific Ring of Fire and experiences frequent earthquakes, particularly in the south.
