A magnitude-5.4 earthquake shook Los Angeles, California before dawn Wednesday (Manila time).

Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman Claro Cristobal said Manila has instructed its consulate in LA to coordinate with Filipino-American communities in the area.

“As of 9 a.m., we have received no report of any Filipino affected by the quake,” Cristobal said in an interview on dzBB radio, citing initial reports from the Philippine consulate general there.

“It is good news that as of this time we have not received reports of Filipino casualties,” he added.

He revealed that DFA ordered the Philippine consulate there to be in constant touch with Filipino-American organizations in the LA area for reports on Filipinos’ condition there.

There were no initial reports of serious damage or injuries from the magnitude-5.4 quake.

    This is why I’m glad I don’t live in California anymore. I don’t miss the earthquakes at all!
