Moderate magnitude 4.7 quake hits 84 km northwest of Santa Cruz, Philippines early morning

The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 4.7 quake in the Philippines near Santa Cruz, Zambales, Central Luzon, only 10 minutes ago. The earthquake hit early morning on Monday, June 29th, 2026, at 4:01 am local time at a shallow depth of 10. 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 4.7 as well.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Balingasay (pop. 3,700) located 56 km from the epicenter.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Santa Cruz (pop. 66,600) located 84 km from the epicenter, Agoo (pop. 29,000) 85 km away, Domalanoan (pop. 15,100) 99 km away, Bauang (pop. 77,700) 109 km away, Dagupan (pop. 171,300) 110 km away, San Fernando (pop. 83,000) 111 km away, and Calasiao (pop. 100,700) 114 km away.
