MANILA, Feb 28 - The Philippines ordered a limited precautionary evacuation on Sunday in coastal areas of 19 provinces along its eastern seaboard after raising the level of a tsunami alert issued following a massive earthquake in Chile .
The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center had earlier lifted its warning for most countries on the Pacific basin, leaving it in effect for just Russia and Japan, but Philippine authorities remained concerned about the risk of large waves generated by Saturday's magnitude 8.8 quake in Chile.Areas facing Pacific ocean will be affected.
