A magnitude 5.1 earthquake near Mabalacat City, Pampanga, Central Luzon, Philippines, was reported only 13 minutes ago by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), considered one of the key international agencies that monitor seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 56. km beneath the epicenter in the afternoon on Saturday, October 11th, 2025, at 5:32 pm local time. 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 German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.5. A third agency, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.0.
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 Bamban (pop. 78,300) located 29 km from the epicenter, Mabalacat City (pop. 188,100) 30 km away, Capas (pop. 72,100) 32 km away, Santol (pop. 299,000) 32 km away, Angeles City (pop. 299,400) 34 km away, Tarlac City (pop. 183,900) 39 km away,
