Significant 5.2 quake hits near Panabo, Davao del Norte, Davao, Philippines

An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred in the morning on Monday, May 19th, 2025, at 11:41 am local time near Panabo, Davao del Norte, Davao, Philippines, as reported by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a moderately shallow depth of 45. km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.0. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 5.1, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.0, and the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) at magnitude 5.2.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In New Visayas (pop. 14,800) located 14 km from the epicenter, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
