When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 2 km2 (1 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 2 km (1 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Mar 18, 2026 03:20 am (GMT +9)10 minutes ago4.258 km0 km - This quakePhilippine Sea, 196 km E of Bislig, PhilippinesMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake10 minutes agoMar 17, 2026 18:20 GMT / Mar 18, 2026 03:20 am (GMT +9)Lat / Lng: 8.82 / 127.99: Philippines: Philippine Islands RegionSource: EMSCOther sources: RaspberryShake: 4.2 / 58 km, PHIVOLCS: 4.2 / 58 kmDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',4.2,42, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',8.82,127.99,'10 minutes ago: Mag. 4.2, Philippines: Philippine Islands Region','Earthquake: Mag 4.2 / 58 km (36 mi) depth10 minutes agoMar 17, 2026 18:20 GMT / Mar 18, 2026 03:20 am (GMT +9)Lat / Lng: 8.82 / 127.99: Philippines: Philippine Islands RegionSource: EMSCOther sources: RaspberryShake: 4.2 / 58 km, PHIVOLCS: 4.2 / 58 kmDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!','default'); // this will be local to this table obj function putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex) { qTableOlder.putQuakeOnMap(id,lat,lon,time,title,html,mag,zIndex); } map2.circleScale=0.5;qTableOlder.usePalette=1;qTableOlder.startVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime-(80*365.25*86400);qTableOlder.endVal=qTableOlder.referenceTime; qTableOlder.assignMap(map2); (async function(){await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r,4000));map2.map.setZoom(7)})(); })(); (async function(){while(typeof mkRequest=="undefined")await new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,500));mkRequest("https://server2.allquakes.com/api/getPrevious.php?quakeId=22817858","get","",function(httpObj){let r=httpObj.responseText,d=document;if(""!=r&&200==httpObj.status){let o=JSON.parse(r);if(!o){d.getElementById("olderQuakesSection").remove();return};let table=d.getElementById("qTableOlder");table.innerHTML+=o.tableRows,qTableOlder.alternateBg(),d.getElementById("placeholder_largestQText").innerHTML=o.html,d.getElementById("sectionPreviousCWrap").style.display="",eval(o.js)}})})();]]>
