Reference #7178:

Agno, Philippines, June 2, 1924.-An Associated Press dispatch from Manila, under date of June 2, 1924, states that a strong earthquake shock, followed by a tidal wave, had occurred in the town of Aano, in the province of Pangasinan. The populace was reported as terror stricken, but no serious damage occurred.

Reference #10958:

This earthquake occurred at 4:19 AM on June 3, 1924 based on the catalog of Gutenberg and Richter (1954). However, this event is neither found in the USGS nor in the PHIVOLCS catalog. According to Iida et al, it affected NW Luzon specifically the town of Agno of Pangasinan province. It is uncertain if Iida et al (1967) was actually referring to the May 6,1924 event which also generated a tsunami. Iida et al (1967) referred to the Seismological Society of America and Kawasumi (1963) as his sources. Iida et al (1967) estimated the tsunami magnitude to be 1. Since there are many uncertainties about this event, tsunami probability is ranked as “doubtful”
