Philippine capital jolted by quake
An earthquake that struck east of the Philippine capital Manila yesterday set buildings swaying and sent scores into the streets, but authorities said they did not expect any damage. The 5.2-magnitude jolt hit offshore near sparsely populated Polillo Island, about 130 kilometres (80 miles) from Manila, according to the US Geological Survey. Buildings in the capital were briefly evacuated as several smaller aftershocks rumbled through the ground.
