Lots of sources claiming it might be anywhere between 8.0 and 9.0.

Civil Defence here in NZ is saying there's no tsunami threat (to NZ anyway): https://www.civildefence.govt.nz/

Felt it ~600KM away in a high floor, building was swaying. Others didn't feel it and at first I thought I was just [unusually] light-headed or something, but then we realized a door was swinging back and forth slightly, and a hanging plant was swaying.

I was in that earthquake. Was finally able to check in to a hotel now. It was very scary. The room was shaking for at least 5 minutes and the walls were cracking. We all ran outside, down the stairs, and waited across the street until the engineers told us to walk far away. Then the siding started falling from the building (29 floors).

3 foot tsunami waves? I've made bigger waves in soup.

It's now confirmed that the Cotabato Trench caused the earthquake. It's scary that this trench has been moving a lot lately during the past few years.
