On October 11, 2025 at 23:04 UTC, a magnitude 4.4 shallow crustal earthquake struck 211 km SE of Sarangani, Philippines, at a depth of 43.4 km and coordinates 3.9343°, 126.6800°.

Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 60 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 655 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
