Earthquake Manila Philippines 25 Mar 2010 – Epicenter Mindoro Area

There’s an earthquake in Manila. At around 1:29pm March 25, 2010 I felt a mild earthquake on the 2nd floor of our home. It lasted about 10 seconds based on my estimate. I immediately got a call from my wife who was in Makati (11th floor) in their office and they said they felt it and it seems strong (perhaps because they were at the 11th floor).

Here are the  prelimiary data from USGS
