The tremor happened around 2:52a.m. some seven kilometers (kms) south-west of Dinagat town, also in the same island province, Phivolcs said.
The other type of an earthquake is volcanic, Phivolcs said.
Initial reports showed that Instrumental Intensity 2 was recorded over City of Surigao, Surigao del Norte; Abuyog, Leyte; and Sogod and Hinundayan, Southern Leyte.
