According to subsequent Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) bulletins, no damages were reported nor were there aftershocks expected.

Meanwhile, a 2.0-magnitude earthquake was also recorded south of Siaton, Negros Oriental just after 11:00 a.m. on Saturday morning.

Much like the aforementioned incidents, a Phivolcs bulletin later indicated there were no damages reported nor were there aftershocks expected./WDJ
