A deep earthquake shook part of the Philippines southwest of the capital on Thursday, but there were no immediate reports of major damage or casualties.
The 6.2 magnitude morning earthquake was near Hukay and about 75 miles below the surface, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Deep quakes are often widely felt but with less potential to cause major damage. Hukay is about 87 miles from Manila.
