Seismic Activity in Philippines
Over the past 30 days, there have been 29 recorded earthquakes in this region. The largest recent earthquake was a magnitude 5.2 event near 1 km SE of San Roque, Philippines.

Over the past 30 days, Philippines has recorded 29 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 6 reached magnitude 5.0 or higher. 23 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. By depth: 26 shallow (<70 km), 3 intermediate (70–300 km). 10 of the epicenters were offshore. 5 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 33 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Cluster detection flagged 1 aftershock sequence; the largest contained 3 smaller events within 20 km and 72 hours of its mainshock. Focal depths ranged from 8.7 km to 202.1 km. All 29 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.
Leading the list is a magnitude 5.2 event near 1 km SE of San Roque, Philippines at 10.0 km depth, which drew 27 felt reports from the public. The second-ranked event, at magnitude 5.1 near 30 km SE of Magdalena, Philippines, trails by 0.1 magnitude units — a narrow gap, indicating two comparably energetic events in the current window. Rounding out the top three is a magnitude 5.1 earthquake near 2 km NE of Maygatasan, Philippines.
