A 5.7-magnitude earthquake hit offshore Philippines, triggering evacuations and disruptions, but no tsunami.

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck offshore Kalamansig, Sultan Kudarat, at 1:05 a.m. on January 28, 2026, with a depth of 19 kilometers. Intensities up to IV were felt in Palimbang and Lebak, with lower shaking reported across surrounding areas. No tsunami threat was issued, but aftershocks, including one up to magnitude 5.2, continued. Authorities suspended classes and government work in affected towns, evacuated coastal residents, and halted fishing. Over 350 families moved to shelters amid ongoing seismic activity linked to the tectonically active Cotabato Trench, where a major quake and tsunami occurred in 1976.
