A magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck the southern Philippines early today, with the epicenter near Manay in Davao Oriental. The tremor caused power outages, building damage, and temporary tsunami warnings along the eastern coast. Strong shaking was felt in Davao City, Tagum, Mati, and nearby provinces, prompting thousands to evacuate to safer areas. Dozens of aftershocks followed, and authorities warned residents to stay cautious and avoid unstable structures. Rescue teams, soldiers, and volunteers worked to clear roads, inspect buildings, and deliver relief supplies. Government officials, including President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., pledged rapid aid and long-term recovery support. Despite widespread disruption, communities across Mindanao are showing resilience and unity as conditions gradually stabilize.
