People likely experienced very 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, 166 km (103 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(*)RegionCountry39 km (24 mi)E of epicenterHarrison(pop: 2,350)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines40 km (25 mi)NE of epicenterLooc(pop: 2,630)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines48 km (30 mi)N of epicenterTilik(pop: 2,350)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines49 km (31 mi)N of epicenterTagbak(pop: 4,140)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines59 km (37 mi)E of epicenterMamburao(pop: 23,900)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines63 km (39 mi)E of epicenterCabacao(pop: 4,490)III: WeakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines72 km (45 mi)E of epicenterWawa(pop: 4,880)II: Very weakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines77 km (48 mi)NE of epicenterCalatagan(pop: 16,100)II: Very weakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines78 km (49 mi)SE of epicenterSanta Cruz(pop: 9,830)II: Very weakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines87 km (54 mi)NE of epicenterBinubusan(pop: 6,710)II: Very weakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines92 km (57 mi)NE of epicenterBalayan(pop: 50,100)II: Very weakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines92 km (57 mi)NE of epicenterBalayan(pop: 50,100)II: Very weakPhilippines95 km (59 mi)NE of epicenterNasugbu(pop: 62,900)II: Very weakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines98 km (61 mi)SE of epicenterSablayan(pop: 91,400)II: Very weakOccidental Mindoro, MimaropaPhilippines98 km (61 mi)NE of epicenterLuntal(pop: 2,770)II: Very weakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines99 km (61 mi)NE of epicenterCalaca(pop: 37,400)II: Very weakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines99 km (61 mi)NE of epicenterCalaca(pop: 37,400)II: Very weakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines110 km (68 mi)NE of epicenterAga(pop: 5,220)II: Very weakProvince of Batangas, CalabarzonPhilippines166 km (103 mi)NE 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!Get the Android appCompare 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 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)Aug 22, 2026 10:26 am (GMT +8)12 minutes ago4.110 km0 km - This quakeSouth China Sea, 42 km SW of Golo Island, PhilippinesMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 1,100 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: 0.2 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 4.9 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 4.2 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 34.3 quakes per year (or 2.9 quakes per month)Mag. 3 or higher: 130 quakes per year (or 10.8 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 690 quakes per year (or 58 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 1,100 quakes per year (or 3.1 quakes per day)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 earthquake
