Agoncillo is located near Taal Volcano.

A few hours later, a 3.9-magnitude earthquake jolted Batangas province anew.

The volcanic tremor occurred at 2:05 a.m. at a depth of 6 kilometers northeast of Talisay town.

Intensity 4, which may feel like a passing of heavy truck and cause hanging objects to swing considerably, was reported in Tagaytay City, Cavite.

Malabon City and Pasay City, meanwhile, experienced intensity 2 or "slight felt" shaking.

Some 144 volcanic earthquakes had been recorded since Taal Volcano began rumbling Sunday afternoon.

The agency said the tremor would not cause damage or spawn aftershocks.
