Ilagan, Isabela had intensity II, and Casiguran, Aurora; Candon, Narvacan, Tagudin, Ilocos Sur with intensity I. According to Phivolcs senior science research scientist Johnlery Deximo, there is no threat of a tsunami due to the quake. “Since the quake happened at night, it will generate unusual sea level disturbance that can be observed along the coasts near the epicenter, which is Calayan, Cagayan,” he said.
