An earthquake swarm has been recorded offshore of Claveria in Masbate, Philippines, starting on July 13. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported that 54 earthquakes have occurred since then, with 28 mapped and five felt by residents, reaching up to Intensity V (strong). These quakes range in magnitude from 1 to 5.4. Phivolcs explained that earthquake swarms consist of multiple closely spaced quakes over time without a clear mainshock-aftershock sequence. Authorities warned that the swarm might lead to larger earthquakes but emphasized there is no immediate threat. Residents were advised to prepare for potential emergencies, including practicing evacuation routes and recognizing tsunami warning signs.
