Philippines Earthquake Aftermath: Davao Residents Battle Aftershocks Following Massive Quakes

Two powerful earthquakes struck the southern Philippines on October 10, 2025, within hours of each other, causing widespread panic and destruction. The first, a massive 7.4 magnitude temblor, inflicted significant damage, killing at least seven people and triggering landslides and evacuation orders in coastal areas due to a brief tsunami scare. Mere hours later, a second quake measuring 6.8 magnitude struck the same fault line—the Philippine Trench—prompting fresh tsunami warnings and raising fears of further collapses in already weakened structures. Residents in Davao Oriental are seen setting up emergency tents in open spaces to stay safe, while many are filing for government assistance amid ongoing aftershocks.

Authorities warn that the doublet earthquakes, occurring at different epicenters but on the same fault, have left the region vulnerable and in urgent need of aid. The government is deploying rescue teams and preparing relief operations led by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., who continues to handle multiple disasters this month after a recent deadly quake and storms. Schools in Davao City evacuated children as a precaution, with the city located about 250 kilometers from the epicenter. The disaster comes at a difficult time as the Philippines still recovers from a September 30 earthquake in Cebu that caused severe casualties and displacement. This latest natural calamity underscores the urgent need for disaster readiness and swift government action in this vulnerable region.
