MANILA (AFP): An evacuation order was issued to coastal dwellers on a remote Philippine island Tuesday (April 4) after a 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck in the ocean off the archipelago, triggering a tsunami warning.
The shallow quake hit around 9pm (1300 GMT) about 120km (74 miles) from Catanduanes Island, off the main island of Luzon, the US Geological Survey said.
