Manila: An offshore earthquake measuring 5.7 on the Richter scale jolted the Davao Oriental province of the Philippines on Monday morning, authorities said.
The tremor, which was tectonic in origin, is not expected to cause damage and aftershocks, the institute said.
Monday's temblor came a day after an earthquake measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale jolted the Davao del Sur province.
The institute had said the quake, which was also tectonic in origin, would trigger aftershocks and cause damage.
