Powerful Quake Shakes Southern Philippines
The seismic event occurred at 11:02 a.m. local time, with its epicenter positioned approximately 47 kilometers from the coastal town of Manay, the institute reported. The quake originated at a depth of 42 kilometers beneath the surface.
Tremors reverberated throughout the island region.
The institute warned that aftershocks are anticipated and structural damage is likely, especially in communities closest to the epicenter.
The Philippines faces regular seismic threats due to its position on the Pacific "Ring of Fire," a volatile geological zone where major tectonic plates converge, producing frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
