Earthquakes in the Philippines — November 2025

25 earthquakes were recorded in the Philippines during November 2025, an average of 0.8 per day.

25 reached magnitude 4 or above and 5 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 72 km.

The month's largest event in the Philippines was a magnitude 5.5 earthquake near Mabinay, Philippines on 02 November 2025 at 19:06 UTC. A magnitude 5.5 earthquake radiates roughly 2,682 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is below the the Philippines monthly average of 35 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 104 recorded the previous month.

56% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 44% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). A substantial share of intermediate-depth events points to a subducting slab beneath the region rather than purely crustal faulting.

By band, the catalogue holds 20 in the magnitude 4 range, 5 in the magnitude 5 range.

Activity peaked on 22 November, when 3 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M5.5 near Mabinay, Philippines on 02 November at 141 km; M5.4 near Sarangani, Philippines on 15 November at 36 km; M5.4 near Pondaguitan, Philippines on 25 November at 74 km.

That is 28% below the 35 events the Philippines averages per month across the 21 months on record.
