The earthquake has once again caused havoc in the Philippines. On Tuesday (September 30, 2025), 22 people died in a powerful earthquake of 6.9 magnitude in Central Philippines. This information has been given in local media reports quoting DZMM radio as saying.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the epicenter of the earthquake was about 17 km north-east from the coastal city of Bogo with a population of about 90,000. The earthquake came due to a local fault line and caused heavy damage to towns and villages.

At least 14 people died in bogo
One of the most affected areas of the earthquake, at least 14 people are reported to have died in bogos. However, the officials have warned that the number of dead may increase further due to the continuation of the rescue operation. Many slums were suppressed in a landslide in a hill village, which is making it difficult for the rescuers to get out of the dangerous area.

Disaster Reduction Officer Glenn Ursl told Associated Press that movement in this area is difficult because there are threats here. Officers are working on bringing heavy machines including backho to speed up the search for people trapped under rocks and land.

6 people died in Remegio
According to Deputy Mahapour Alfi Rains, 6 people have been confirmed in the nearby city of San Remigio, including 3 Coast Guard Jawans, 1 fire personnel and 1 child. Talking to DJMM Radio, Rains appealed for immediate relief material. Rains said that our water supply system has been damaged and we need food and clean water for our people.

Many fire fighting workers injured
Eyewitnesses in the bogos said that the walls, houses and roads were damaged by the earthquake. Firefighting worker Ray Cate told how he and his fellow were surprised by the earthquake. Catte said that we were in our barracks to eradicate the fatigue of the day, when the land started moving and we ran out, but due to strong shakes, staggering and fell on the ground. He further stated that a wall of his fire center fell, injuring many firefighters.
