The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reported a magnitude 4.4 quake in the Philippines near Bogo, Cebu, Central Visayas, only 13 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the afternoon on Sunday, November 23rd, 2025, at 5:44 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 4.4 as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Calape (pop. 2,800) located 10 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Daanbantayan (pop. 13,400) located 16 km from the epicenter, Bogo (pop. 23,600) 17 km away, Bantayan (pop. 19,000) 43 km away, and Ormoc (pop. 191,200) 56 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include
