Summary
Five hours after the 7.8-magnitude quake struck southern Philippines, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said the tsunami threat had largely passed.

The update signaled that the immediate danger from the quake-driven sea surge had eased, even as authorities continued monitoring coastal areas in the region.
