Manila hit by 6.2 magnitude earthquake
At exactly 1:29 pm, the buildings in the city of Manila shake for about 30 seconds after a 6.2 magnitude earthquake hit the capital of the Philippines.
According to Phivolcs, the quake was centered off Lubang Island in Mindoro Occidental province, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) southwest of Manila, six miles (10 kilometers) under the seabed.
But the U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude at 6.1 and depth at 21 miles (33 kilometers).
The last major quake registered a magnitude 7.7 in 1990 and killed nearly 2,000 people on the main northern island of Luzon. (via CBS News)

For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. ~ Matthew 24:7-8
