People likely experienced very weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of the Philippines, Manila, 874 km (543 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake could not be felt.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry51 km (32 mi)SW of epicenterAras-asan(pop: 5,100)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines52 km (32 mi)W of epicenterLa Paz(pop: 2,310)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines57 km (36 mi)W of epicenterTandag(pop: 29,000)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines61 km (38 mi)W of epicenterBurgos(pop: 3,510)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines72 km (44 mi)SW of epicenterSalvacion(pop: 2,090)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines78 km (49 mi)W of epicenterCarmen(pop: 2,810)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines83 km (52 mi)SW of epicenterGamut(pop: 3,480)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines85 km (53 mi)W of epicenterCantilan(pop: 9,410)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines87 km (54 mi)W of epicenterSan Miguel(pop: 2,980)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines87 km (54 mi)SW of epicenterLianga(pop: 13,600)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines92 km (57 mi)SW of epicenterBarobo(pop: 9,890)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines92 km (57 mi)SW of epicenterHinatuan(pop: 44,500)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines95 km (59 mi)SW of epicenterTagbina(pop: 41,200)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines96 km (60 mi)W of epicenterAdlay(pop: 2,550)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines98 km (61 mi)NW of epicenterUnion(pop: 2,370)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Norte, CaragaPhilippines100 km (62 mi)NW of epicenterSocorro(pop: 9,740)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Norte, CaragaPhilippines105 km (65 mi)SW of epicenterBah-Bah(pop: 28,600)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines106 km (66 mi)SW of epicenterSan Francisco(pop: 79,700)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines108 km (67 mi)SW of epicenterProsperidad(pop: 90,200)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines109 km (68 mi)SW of epicenterBislig(pop: 99,900)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines112 km (69 mi)SW of epicenterLapinigan(pop: 4,330)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines112 km (69 mi)W of epicenterBayugan(pop: 40,600)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines117 km (73 mi)W of epicenterSibagat(pop: 4,870)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines119 km (74 mi)W of epicenterTaligaman(pop: 7,430)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines120 km (75 mi)NW of epicenterClaver(pop: 5,910)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Norte, CaragaPhilippines124 km (77 mi)S of epicenterLingig(pop: 6,400)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Sur, CaragaPhilippines126 km (78 mi)SW of epicenterTalacogon(pop: 15,600)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines127 km (79 mi)SW of epicenterEsperanza(pop: 6,190)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines130 km (81 mi)W of epicenterCabadbaran(pop: 31,100)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Norte, CaragaPhilippines130 km (81 mi)W of epicenterButuan(pop: 309,700)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Norte, CaragaPhilippines132 km (82 mi)W of epicenterKitcharao(pop: 7,210)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Norte, CaragaPhilippines132 km (82 mi)W of epicenterTungao(pop: 8,910)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Norte, CaragaPhilippines132 km (82 mi)SW of epicenterBunawan(pop: 51,000)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines135 km (84 mi)W of epicenterLibertad(pop: 250,400)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Norte, CaragaPhilippines137 km (85 mi)NW of epicenterPlacer(pop: 10,400)II: Very weakProvince of Surigao del Norte, CaragaPhilippines139 km (86 mi)SW of epicenterTrento(pop: 15,900)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines143 km (89 mi)SW of epicenterVeruela(pop: 18,100)II: Very weakProvince of Agusan del Sur, CaragaPhilippines154 km (96 mi)NW of epicenterSurigao(pop: 87,800)II: Very weakCaragaPhilippines174 km (108 mi)NW of epicenterSan Jose(pop: 26,700)I: Not feltDinagat Islands, CaragaPhilippines874 km (543 mi)NW of epicenterManila(pop: 1,600,000): Not feltCapital, National Capital RegionPhilippinesNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Compare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

It has had at least 8 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 15 to 20 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
