7 dead, over 8,000 affected by Davao Oriental quakes

A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Manay, Davao Oriental on Friday, October 10, 2025, at 7:12 p.m., prompting an initial tsunami warning by Phivolcs that was later lifted.

Earlier on Friday, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake also off Manay triggered a tsunami warning that was later canceled.

A magnitude 5.8 earthquake then jolted waters off Davao Oriental on Saturday evening, with its epicenter 62 kilometers southeast of Manay.

Three people were reported killed from the earlier quakes on Friday, with many houses and buildings sustaining heavy damage.

Seven individuals died, and more than 8,000 others were affected by the earthquakes as of Saturday.

Phivolcs stated that damage to properties is expected from the Saturday quake, but aftershocks may not be possible.
