The quake struck 5 kilometers southwest of Lian town in Batangas at 1:28 p.m.
Phivolcs said the earthquake was tectonic in origin and has a depth of 173 kilometers.
Aftershocks are expected from the quake, the initial report from Phivolcs said.
The quake lasted for several seconds and was felt in the Philippine Daily Inquirer building in Makati.

There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries.
The Philippines lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire which stretches for 25,000 miles in a horseshoe shape where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur due to the shifting fault lines in the tectonic plates.
There are some 452 volcanoes along the ring, accounting for about 75 per cent of the world’s total.
The country’s worst ever earthquake struck in August 1976 when an 8.1 magnitude earthquake struck the Moro Gulf which generated a tsunami which caused devastation along the coast of the Mindanao island as well as the nearby Sulu Islands, killing up to 8,000 people.
The last sizeable earthquake to strike the country was in October 2013 when one of a magnitude of 7.2 struck the province of Bohol, killing at least 222 people and injuring almost 1,000 others.
