The Philippines was shaken near Sanchez-Mira, Cagayan, Cagayan Valley, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 only 15 minutes ago, Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 56. km beneath the epicenter near Sanchez-Mira, Cagayan, Cagayan Valley, Philippines, early morning on Monday, April 28th, 2025, at 1:18 am 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 France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.4.
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 Namuac (pop. 3,000) located 70 km from the epicenter, Claveria (pop. 10,600) 71 km away, Sanchez-Mira (pop. 26,200) 76 km away, Cabaritan East (pop. 9,300) 97 km away, Aparri (pop. 33,200) 109 km away, and Laoag (pop. 102,100) 132 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in

A shallow magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported early morning near Sanchez-Mira, Cagayan, Cagayan Valley, Philippines.
According to France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), the quake hit on Monday, April 28th, 2025, at 1:18 am local time 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 European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.3.
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 Namuac (pop. 3,000) located 51 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Claveria (pop. 10,600) located 54 km from the epicenter, Sanchez-Mira (pop. 26,200) 56 km away, Cabaritan East (pop. 9,300) 76 km away, Aparri (pop. 33,200) 88 km away, and Laoag (pop. 102,100) 118 km away.

An earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred only 9 minutes ago 70 km north of Sanchez-Mira, Philippines, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter near Sanchez-Mira, Cagayan, Cagayan Valley, Philippines, early morning on Monday, April 28th, 2025, at 1:18 am 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 citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.5. A third agency, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.5.
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 Namuac (pop. 3,000) located 63 km from the epicenter, Claveria (pop. 10,600) 64 km away, Sanchez-Mira (pop. 26,200) 70 km away, Cabaritan East (pop. 9,300) 93 km away, Ballesteros (pop. 5,600) 94 km away, Aparri (pop. 33,200) 106 km away, and Laoag (pop. 102,100) 123 km away.
