"Philippine Capital Shaken by Deadly Quake, Thousands Forced into Evacuation Centers"

Buildings in Manila, Philippines were evacuated after a magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck off the main Luzon island. No casualties were reported, and the seismology agency expects no damage but warns of aftershocks. The earthquake, which occurred around 130 km from the capital region, prompted government workers, students, and residents to leave buildings. Train operations were halted, but no damage was observed at the airport. The Philippines is prone to earthquakes due to its location on the "Ring of Fire".
