Earthquake in Manila?

They say it was 6.1 but how come I did not feel anything? I'm in the 17th floor!!! Oh, I was having my lunch break during that time so I was probably in the fast food, on my way back to the office, or in the elevator. Nevertheless, if it was 6.1, I should have felt the quake in any of these places. Wait!... can you feel a 6.1 earthquake when you are in an elevator? Hmmm...

Googled the news immediately and found out it was only intensity 3 here in Makati. So I was probably in the street or in the moving elevator when the earthquake occurred. It is hard to feel an intensity 3 earthquake in the ground level, right? By the way, according to ABS-CBN news the center of the quake is located about 100 miles west of Batangas, probably that is where the earthquake is at intensity 6.1.
