An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 occurred in the morning on Saturday, October 4th, 2025, at 7:42 am local time near Santa Monica, Surigao del Norte, Caraga, Philippines, as reported by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.9 as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Santa Monica (pop. 2,300) located 77 km from the epicenter, Pilar (pop. 2,400) 79 km away, San Benito (pop. 2,300) 83 km away, Libas (pop. 3,400) 89 km away, Dapa (pop. 8,800) 90 km away, and Del Carmen, Surigao del Norte (pop. 4,300) 91 km away.
