An undersea 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck off the southern Philippines, generating a precautionary tsunami warning from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.
The centre now says there is no longer a tsunami threat near the Philippines and the warning has been cancelled.
No casualties or damage have been reported so far.
The US Geological Survey said the quake hit at a depth of 60km south of Davao city in the main southern region of Mindanao.
