The Phivolcs recorded nearly 6,000 aftershocks in Northern Cebu after the 6.9 magnitude earthquake on September 30, 2025. It has reached 5,982 aftershocks, of which 1,219 were plotted and 25 were felt by residents.
The strongest aftershock this Sunday was a 4.4 magnitude with a depth of 10 kilometers in Bogo City, Cebu. It was felt in Daanbantayan (Intensity II) and in Leyte (Intensity I) such as Villaba, Abuyog, and Carigara.
According to Geologist Mahar Lagmay, it is normal for many aftershocks to occur after a strong earthquake because "the fault is still adjusting." He added that this may last for a month or more, but it is gradually weakening.
