Overview

• Agencies measured the offshore quake near Manay, Davao Oriental, at roughly magnitude 7.4–7.6, with Phivolcs revising its estimate to 7.4 at about 23 km depth and USGS reporting 7.4 at roughly 58 km.
• The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially projected waves of 1–3 meters and later said the tsunami threat to the Philippines had passed, while alerts persisted for parts of Indonesia and Palau.
• Coastal evacuations were ordered across several provinces, with schools and some public services suspended in affected areas as small waves were detected and aftershocks continued.
• Civil defense officials confirmed at least one fatality from falling debris and reported damage including cracked buildings, affected roads and bridges, power interruptions, and airport wall cracks in Davao City without flight cancellations.
• President Ferdinand Marcos Jr said search, rescue and relief teams were being readied for deployment when conditions allow, as national and local agencies conduct rapid damage assessments following the morning quake.
