Earthquakes were recorded in various parts of the Cordillera region over the past 24 hours.
At 12:48 AM on 7 July 2025, a magnitude 3.8 earthquake was felt by residents of Baguio City and other areas in Benguet. According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), the quake originated at a depth of 10 kilometers, located at 16.23°N, 120.71°E—about 14 kilometers south-southeast of Itogon, Benguet.
Later that morning, at 3:35 AM, a magnitude 2.1 earthquake was felt in Abra province. The tremor had a depth of 7 kilometers and was traced to 17.84°N, 120.78°E—13 kilometers north-northwest of Tineg, Abra.
On the evening of 6 July 2025, at 6:58 PM, a magnitude 4.0 earthquake struck Kalinga province. PHIVOLCS reported its epicenter at 17.47°N, 121.47°E—right at Tabuk City’s southeastern sector.
Meanwhile, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Cordillera Field Office continues to monitor the effects of Typhoon Bosing (international name: Danas) and the Southwest Monsoon. The region remains under blue alert as field teams monitor the provinces for damage.
As of current reports, 73 families or 168 individuals were affected by a landslide in Barangay Virac, Itogon, Benguet, which occurred on 4 July 2025.
Itogon Mayor Bernard Waclin has suspended classes at Acupan Elementary School, which is being used as an evacuation center for families displaced by the landslide.
Authorities are advising residents —particularly those in landslide-prone areas — to observe precautionary measures and consider preemptive evacuation. Continuous rainfall from the Southwest Monsoon is causing soil saturation, increasing the risk of further landslides.
