The tectonic tremor hit past 12:14 p.m. at a depth of 25 kilometers, with its epicenter located 23 kms southwest of San Antonio town, Phivolcs said in advisory. The quake was felt at Intensity 3 in Olongapo, Zambales. This intensity is &quot;felt by many people indoors especially in upper floors of buildings,&quot; said Phivolcs. The vibration, it added, is like the passing of a light truck and could cause hanging objects to swing moderately. It may also cause dizziness and nausea in some people. Intensity 2, which could cause hanging objects to swing lightly, was felt in Guagua, Pampanga, said Phivolcs. Intensity 1, which may disturb delicately balanced objects, was felt in Malolos, Bulacan and Dagupan, Pangasinan, it added. The tremor was not expected to spawn aftershocks or cause major damage, Phivolcs said. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/focus/02/13/17/safety-first-what-to-do-when-a-deadly-quake-strikes">Safety first: What to do when a deadly quake strikes</a></li></ul>
