A 6.8-magnitude earthquake was registered in the Philippines, Reuters reported citing the US Geological Survey.

The tremor was 37 kilometres west of Davao City, at a depth of 22 kilometres. So far, there are no reports of casualties and devastation, nor of a tsunami threat.

This is the third earthquake in the area since October 16.

"We are on the right track to an agreement," deputy labor minister Stanisław Szwed told the Polish Press Agency. "I hope that in the fall we will be able to secure at least a provisional agreement." He added that a provisional draft of the agreement would be sent by the Philippine authorities.
