The epicentre of the quake was around 11 kilometres (seven miles) east-southeast of Calape, a municipality in Bohol province with a population of around 33,000 people, according to the US Geological Survey.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said "there is no tsunami threat from this earthquake" and "no action is required".
