The quake was also recorded at Intensity II in Baguio City and La Trinidad, Benguet, and Intensity I in Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte and Itogon, Benguet.

 

The Phivolcs said that the earthquake that struck was tectonic in nature, meaning it was caused by the movement of an active fault line near the area.
