The Philippines was shaken near Tandag, Surigao del Sur, Caraga, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.3 only 6 minutes ago, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter near Tandag, Surigao del Sur, Caraga, Philippines, early morning on Thursday, September 4th, 2025, at 6:45 am local time. 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.
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 Dapa (pop. 8,800) located 59 km from the epicenter, Socorro (pop. 9,700) 66 km away, Tandag (pop. 29,000) 72 km away, Cantilan (pop. 9,400) 72 km away, and Surigao (pop. 87,800) 120 km away.
