Felt by 1 person across nearby locations.
On June 11, 2025 at 08:53 UTC, a magnitude 4.6 shallow crustal earthquake struck 11 km SSW of Bislig, Philippines, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 8.1119°, 126.2944°. This earthquake was detected by 51 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 326, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 120 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 899 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
The epicenter is located in Philippines, a region characterized by the Manila Trench and Philippine Trench subduction systems, where the Philippine Sea Plate overrides the Eurasian Plate. The nearest mapped fault system is the Philippine Fault. View all earthquakes in Philippines.
