The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology confirmed the earthquake and guaranteed that no tsunami alert was issued. Being a part of the Pacific “Ring of Fireplace”, the Philippines experiences frequent seismic exercise.
Whereas minor earthquakes typically go unnoticed, stronger ones might be devastating and unpredictable. Notably, a magnitude 7 earthquake in July 2022 triggered landslides and floor fissures in Abra province, leading to 11 fatalities and 609 accidents. Updates on the current quake are pending.
