People are out!
About 30 mins following the earthquake, tenants were ushered to the designated evac area in BGC. Our building marshalls were on top of the situation (aside from the security & safety protocols of our company) #LindolPH pic.twitter.com/t0NE7zskYS

How it felt in a cafe
Was sitting cross-legged when I started feeling dizzy. Thought it was just my leg going numb but it intensified until I noticed the hanging plants on the wall at Gino’s sway violently. #earthquake #manila pic.twitter.com/btcefdmSvF
