Subject: Displacements from the Mw 7.8 Offshore Sarangani Earthquake (08 Jun 2026)
The Mw 7.8 earthquake that hit Sarangani and surrounding provinces last 08 June 2025 (07:37:41 AM PhST) has induced a significant displacement in one of PAGeNet’s active geodetic stations in the area.
PGEN (General Santos City), located approximately 57 kms northeast (NE) from the earthquake’s epicenter, recorded a ~0.164 m 2D displacement northwest (NW) from its previous day’s position. The station also measured a ~0.055 m displacement in the Up component of the station position.
As for the other PAGeNet stations located in the vicinity of the epicenter, the stations’ Velocity and Displacement Engine (VADASE) streams recorded a spike around the time the earthquake struck. PMAI (Maitum, Sarangani), approximately 76 km away from the epicenter, recorded ~0.169 m 2D displacement while PTCG (Tacurong City), approximately 129 km away from the epicenter, recorded ~0.287 m 2D displacement.
NAMRIA continues to monitor the stations to provide updated information to all concerned.
