A 7.6-magnitude earthquake struck offshore near Manay town, Davao Oriental, in southern Philippines on October 10, 2025, at a shallow depth of 10 km, according to Phivolcs. Authorities issued a tsunami warning for coastal and low-lying areas, urging residents to evacuate to higher ground. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center predicted waves up to 3 meters high along the Philippine coast, with smaller waves possible in Indonesia and Palau. While no major casualties or damage have been reported yet, officials warned of aftershocks and possible infrastructure damage. The quake follows a 6.9-magnitude tremor that hit Cebu last week.
