The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) recorded that Magnitude 5.2 Earthquake hits Remedios Romualdez (Agusan Del Norte). The time of impact is around 03:12 PM on Friday Afternoon, May 8, 2020.

PHIVOLCS also recorded the location of the quake, 09.11N, 125.66E – 011 km N 53° E of Remedios Romualdez (Agusan Del Norte), and the Depth of Focus (Km) is 012. There are no casualties that have been damage.

This is the usual scenario in the Philippines because we are under the Pacific Ring Of Fire where active and dormant volcanoes reside. The red dot represents the epicenter of the earthquake.

Reported Intensities:
Intensity IV – Cabadbaran, Agusan del Norte
Intensity III – Magallanes, Agusan del Norte; Butuan City

Tsunami is also the greatest threat after the quake as the wave moves backward from the seashore and produces a gigantic wave that has a strong power to crush its path.
