An intermediate magnitude 4.9 earthquake was reported early morning near Sorsogon, Bicol, Philippines.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake hit on Friday, May 30th, 2025, at 2:35 am local time at an intermediate depth of 91.19 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 Rapu-Rapu (pop. 4,600) located 3 km from the epicenter, Sorsogon (pop. 82,700) 28 km away, Legaspi (pop. 179,500) 44 km away, Tagas (pop. 15,300) 46 km away, Malilipot (pop. 33,600) 47 km away, and Tabaco (pop. 57,900) 49 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Oas (pop. 66,100) located 71 km from the epicenter, Polangui (pop. 77,100) 73 km away, and Iriga City (pop. 114,500) 85 km away.

An intermediate magnitude 4.9 earthquake was reported early morning near Sorsogon, Bicol, Philippines.
According to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the quake hit on Friday, May 30th, 2025, at 2:35 am local time at an intermediate depth of 116. km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. 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.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Rapu-Rapu (pop. 4,600) located 9 km from the epicenter, Sorsogon (pop. 82,700) 35 km away, Virac (pop. 15,100) 42 km away, Legaspi (pop. 179,500) 50 km away, Malilipot (pop. 33,600) 51 km away, Tabaco (pop. 57,900) 53 km away, Oas (pop. 66,100) 76 km away, Polangui (pop. 77,100) 78 km away, and Iriga City (pop. 114,500) 89 km away.
