Just 9 minutes ago, a 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck near Basco, Batanes, Cagayan Valley, Philippines. The tremor was recorded early afternoon on Saturday, November 1st, 2025, at 2:57 pm local time, at an intermediate depth of 131.10 km below the surface.
The event was filed by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.8 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Uyugan (pop. 1,400) located 44 km from the epicenter, Ivana (pop. 1,400) 47 km away, Mahatao (pop. 1,700) 48 km away, Sabtang (pop. 1,700) 48 km away, Basco (pop. 7,300) 49 km away, and Itbayat (pop. 3,100) 88 km away.

Synopsis

The Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) program seeks to enable funding opportunities that are flexible and responsive to the evolving and emerging needs in cyberinfrastructure (CI). The program continues to emphasize integrated CI services, quantitative metrics with targets for delivery and usage of these services, and community creation.

The CSSI program anticipates three classes of awards:

Elements: These awards target small groups that will create and deploy robust services for which there is a demonstrated need, and that will advance one or more significant areas of science and engineering. Framework Implementations: These awards target larger, interdisciplinary teams organized around the development and application of services aimed at solving common research problems faced by NSF researchers in one or more areas of science and engineering, and resulting in a sustainable community framework providing CI services to a diverse community or communities.
