People likely experienced weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking.

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 1 km2 (0 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)21 July 2025 - 12:27 AM (PST)9 minutes ago4.010 km0 km - This quakePhilippines: 043 km S 24° W of Basay (Negros Oriental)Main Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake9 minutes agoJul 20, 2025 16:27 GMT / 21 July 2025 - 12:27 AM (PST)Lat / Lng: 9.05 / 122.48: Philippines: 043 km S 24° W of Basay (Negros Oriental)Source: PHIVOLCSOther sources: PHIVOLCS: 4.0 / 10 kmDetail info | You felt it? - Report it!',4.0,40, '#bb202a', 0.9,1.5, '#bb202a', 0.27);map2.addToMap('thisQuake',9.05,122.48,'9 minutes ago: Mag. 4.0, Philippines: 043 km S 24° W of Basay (Negros Oriental)','Earthquake: Mag 4.0 / 10 km (6.2 mi) depth9 minutes agoJul 20, 2025 16:27 GMT / 21 July 2025 - 12:27 AM (PST)Lat / Lng: 9.05 / 122.48: Philippines: 043 km S 24° W of Basay (Negros Oriental)Source: PHIVOLCSOther sources: PHIVOLCS: 4.0 / 10 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=21976303","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)}})})();]]>Sources: VolcanoDiscovery / VolcanoAdventures and other sources as noted.Use of material: Most text and images on our websites are owned by us.
