People likely experienced weak shaking there. Many smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of the Philippines, Manila, 190 km (118 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry19 km (12 mi)NE of epicenterBayuin(pop: 3,070)IV: LightOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines21 km (13 mi)E of epicenterBansud(pop: 13,800)IV: LightOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines25 km (16 mi)NE of epicenterPinamalayan(pop: 43,500)IV: LightOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines28 km (18 mi)SE of epicenterMalitbog(pop: 3,130)IV: LightOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines29 km (18 mi)N of epicenterVictoria(pop: 10,100)IV: LightOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines36 km (22 mi)SE of epicenterSan Mariano(pop: 4,780)IV: LightOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines38 km (24 mi)NW of epicenterAurora(pop: 3,480)IV: LightOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines40 km (25 mi)N of epicenterSan Agustin(pop: 3,100)IV: LightOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines46 km (29 mi)SE of epicenterRoxas(pop: 14,300)IV: LightOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines48 km (30 mi)SE of epicenterMansalay(pop: 23,000)III: WeakOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines50 km (31 mi)N of epicenterCanubing No 2(pop: 9,570)III: WeakOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines50 km (31 mi)SW of epicenterLigaya(pop: 8,430)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines54 km (33 mi)SW of epicenterCalintaan(pop: 11,500)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines55 km (34 mi)W of epicenterSablayan(pop: 38,400)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines62 km (38 mi)W of epicenterSanta Cruz(pop: 9,830)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines63 km (39 mi)SW of epicenterSan Agustin(pop: 4,810)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines64 km (40 mi)NW of epicenterSan Teodoro(pop: 4,830)III: WeakOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines67 km (41 mi)S of epicenterBulalacao(pop: 12,000)III: WeakOriental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines67 km (41 mi)S of epicenterSan Jose(pop: 118,800)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines69 km (43 mi)S of epicenterCaminauit(pop: 11,200)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines79 km (49 mi)N of epicenterRosario(pop: 128,400)III: WeakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines80 km (50 mi)NW of epicenterMamburao(pop: 23,900)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines96 km (60 mi)N of epicenterBatangas(pop: 237,400)III: WeakCalabarzonPhilippines101 km (63 mi)N of epicenterBauan(pop: 33,600)III: WeakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines103 km (64 mi)N of epicenterSan Pascual(pop: 39,400)III: WeakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines113 km (70 mi)N of epicenterTaal(pop: 39,700)III: WeakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines114 km (71 mi)N of epicenterCandelaria(pop: 60,900)III: WeakQuezon, CalabarzonPhilippines114 km (71 mi)N of epicenterLipa City(pop: 212,300)III: WeakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines119 km (74 mi)N of epicenterLucena(pop: 228,800)III: WeakQuezon, CalabarzonPhilippines119 km (74 mi)N of epicenterSariaya(pop: 45,000)III: WeakQuezon, CalabarzonPhilippines127 km (79 mi)NW of epicenterBalayan(pop: 50,100)III: WeakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines128 km (79 mi)N of epicenterSan Pablo(pop: 207,600)III: WeakProvince of Laguna, CalabarzonPhilippines128 km (79 mi)N of epicenterTayabas(pop: 112,700)III: WeakQuezon, CalabarzonPhilippines130 km (81 mi)N of epicenterTanauan(pop: 68,500)III: WeakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines133 km (83 mi)N of epicenterSanto Tomas(pop: 57,400)III: WeakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines136 km (84 mi)N of epicenterTagaytay(pop: 85,300)III: WeakProvince of Cavite, CalabarzonPhilippines139 km (86 mi)N of epicenterLos Banos(pop: 95,800)III: WeakProvince of Laguna, CalabarzonPhilippines144 km (90 mi)N of epicenterCalamba(pop: 539,700)III: WeakProvince of Laguna, CalabarzonPhilippines148 km (92 mi)N of epicenterSilang(pop: 119,500)II: Very weakProvince of Cavite, CalabarzonPhilippines190 km (118 mi)N of epicenterManila(pop: 1,600,000)II: Very weakCapital, 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.

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 5 km2 (2 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 4 km (2 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)15 September 2025 - 06:24 AM (PST)7 minutes ago4.710 km0 km - This quakePhilippines: 020 km S 45° W of Socorro (Oriental Mindoro)Main Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 25 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 404 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 7 or higher: 0.02 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 41.7 years)Mag. 6 or higher: 0.12 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 8.4 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 2.2 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 20.4 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 55 quakes per year (or 4.6 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 269 quakes per year (or 22.4 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 404 quakes per year (or 33.7 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 3 quakes above magnitude 7 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 40 to 45 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquakeLat / Lng: 12.92 / 121.27: Philippines: 020 km S 45° W of Socorro (Oriental Mindoro)Lat / Lng: 12.92 / 121.27: Philippines: 020 km S 45° W of Socorro (Oriental Mindoro)
