The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) canceled the tsunami warning for all coastal communities in four provinces following the magnitude 7.5 earthquake in Taiwan on Wednesday, April 3.
In an advisory, Phivolcs stated that it lifted the warning as it did not detect disturbances from 7:58 AM to 10 AM in Batanes Group of Islands, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, and Isabela.
"With this, any effects due to the tsunami warning have largely passed and therefore DOST-PHIVOLCS has now cancelled all Tsunami Warnings for this event," the state seismologist said.

A 7.5 magnitude earthquake rocked Taiwan at 8 AM on Wednesday. It had a depth of 15.5 kilometers.
Phivolcs shortly issued a tsunami warning in the Batanes Group of Islands, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, and Isabela, directing residents living near the coast to evacuate.
