Dataset at a glance — Philippines
Over the past 30 days, Philippines has recorded 36 earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater in our tracker. 6 reached magnitude 5.0 or higher. 30 landed between M4.0 and M4.9. By depth: 32 shallow (<70 km), 4 intermediate (70–300 km). 11 of the epicenters were offshore. 6 events produced at least one felt report, totalling 16 citizen submissions to the USGS Did You Feel It? system. Cluster detection flagged 5 aftershock sequences; the largest contained 5 smaller events within 20 km and 72 hours of its mainshock. Focal depths ranged from 10.0 km to 155.4 km. All 36 solutions have been reviewed by a USGS seismologist.
