A moderately shallow magnitude 4.8 earthquake was reported early afternoon near Borongan, Eastern Samar, Eastern Visayas, Philippines.
According to Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, the quake hit on Tuesday, September 9th, 2025, at 2:56 pm local time at a moderately shallow depth of 51. km. 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.
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 San Julian (pop. 3,100) located 21 km from the epicenter, Sulat (pop. 4,700) 23 km away, and Borongan (pop. 16,500) 25 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Catbalogan (pop. 68,100) located 82 km from the epicenter, Panalanoy (pop. 189,100) 86 km away, Tacloban (pop. 242,100) 87 km away, Zumarraga (pop. 16,300) 87 km away, Palo (pop. 17,500) 94 km away, and Tanauan (pop. 16,600) 95 km away.
