People likely experienced 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, 302 km (188 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(*)RegionCountry71 km (44 mi)SE of epicenterBinabalian(pop: 3,300)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines73 km (45 mi)SE of epicenterBalingasay(pop: 3,720)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines82 km (51 mi)SE of epicenterCabungan(pop: 3,060)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines91 km (56 mi)E of epicenterSan Fernando(pop: 83,000)III: WeakProvince of La Union, IlocosPhilippines95 km (59 mi)E of epicenterBangar(pop: 11,100)III: WeakProvince of La Union, IlocosPhilippines96 km (60 mi)SE of epicenterBauang(pop: 77,700)III: WeakProvince of La Union, IlocosPhilippines97 km (60 mi)S of epicenterBangan-Oda(pop: 3,460)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines97 km (60 mi)E of epicenterSan Gabriel(pop: 4,720)III: WeakProvince of La Union, IlocosPhilippines97 km (60 mi)E of epicenterButubut Norte(pop: 3,190)III: WeakProvince of La Union, IlocosPhilippines97 km (60 mi)E of epicenterTagudin(pop: 35,800)III: WeakProvince of Ilocos Sur, IlocosPhilippines97 km (61 mi)E of epicenterSanta Maria(pop: 28,000)III: WeakProvince of Ilocos Sur, IlocosPhilippines98 km (61 mi)SE of epicenterPayocpoc Sur(pop: 13,100)III: WeakProvince of La Union, IlocosPhilippines99 km (61 mi)SE of epicenterAlaminos(pop: 10,500)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines99 km (62 mi)E of epicenterDarapidap(pop: 2,680)III: WeakProvince of Ilocos Sur, IlocosPhilippines100 km (62 mi)E of epicenterSanta Cruz(pop: 2,830)III: WeakProvince of Ilocos Sur, IlocosPhilippines106 km (66 mi)SE of epicenterAringay(pop: 29,800)III: WeakProvince of La Union, IlocosPhilippines112 km (70 mi)SE of epicenterAgoo(pop: 29,000)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines116 km (72 mi)NE of epicenterVigan(pop: 48,500)III: WeakProvince of Ilocos Sur, IlocosPhilippines117 km (73 mi)NE of epicenterBantay(pop: 37,100)III: WeakProvince of Ilocos Sur, IlocosPhilippines124 km (77 mi)SE of epicenterLa Trinidad(pop: 142,900)III: WeakProvince of Benguet, Cordillera Administrative RegionPhilippines126 km (78 mi)SE of epicenterLingayen(pop: 56,600)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines126 km (78 mi)SE of epicenterDomalanoan(pop: 15,100)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines127 km (79 mi)SE of epicenterBaguio(pop: 272,700)III: WeakProvince of Benguet, Cordillera Administrative RegionPhilippines127 km (79 mi)SE of epicenterBinmaley(pop: 44,000)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines131 km (81 mi)SE of epicenterDagupan(pop: 171,300)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines133 km (83 mi)SE of epicenterMangaldan(pop: 88,800)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines134 km (83 mi)E of epicenterMankayan(pop: 15,900)III: WeakProvince of Benguet, Cordillera Administrative RegionPhilippines135 km (84 mi)SE of epicenterCalasiao(pop: 100,700)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines136 km (84 mi)S of epicenterSanta Cruz(pop: 66,600)III: WeakProvince of Zambales, Central LuzonPhilippines137 km (85 mi)SE of epicenterItogon(pop: 59,700)III: WeakProvince of Benguet, Cordillera Administrative RegionPhilippines139 km (86 mi)SE of epicenterSanta Barbara(pop: 15,400)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines140 km (87 mi)NE of epicenterBangued(pop: 48,300)III: WeakProvince of Abra, Cordillera Administrative RegionPhilippines142 km (88 mi)SE of epicenterManaoag(pop: 59,100)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines154 km (95 mi)SE of epicenterUrdaneta(pop: 145,900)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines159 km (99 mi)SE of epicenterBayambang(pop: 129,500)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines161 km (100 mi)SE of epicenterVillasis(pop: 65,100)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines165 km (102 mi)SE of epicenterRosales(pop: 67,500)III: WeakProvince of Pangasinan, IlocosPhilippines180 km (112 mi)SE of epicenterPaniqui(pop: 106,200)III: WeakProvince of Tarlac, Central LuzonPhilippines181 km (112 mi)NE of epicenterLaoag(pop: 112,100)III: WeakProvince of Ilocos Norte, IlocosPhilippines302 km (188 mi)SE 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 8 km2 (3 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 5 km (3 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jul 2, 2026 11:24 am (Universal Time)9 minutes ago4.910 km0 km - This quakeLuzon, PhilippinesMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 56 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 264 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.06 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 18.2 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 1 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 1 years)Mag. 4 or higher: 10.8 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 65 quakes per year (or 5.4 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 227 quakes per year (or 18.9 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 264 quakes per year (or 22 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 7 quakes above magnitude 6 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
