The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology confirmed the earthquake and assured that no tsunami alert was issued. Being part of the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, the Philippines experiences frequent seismic activity.
While minor earthquakes often go unnoticed, stronger ones can be devastating and unpredictable. Notably, a magnitude 7 earthquake in July 2022 triggered landslides and ground fissures in Abra province, resulting in 11 fatalities and 609 injuries. Updates on the recent quake are pending.
