According to a report released by the council, the powerful earthquake has affected 1,380,000 people and damaged 68,000 homes. Infrastructure losses have exceeded one billion pesos (around 17 million U.S. dollars), and agricultural losses have exceeded 29 million pesos (around 480,000 U.S. dollars). The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the tectonic earthquake occurred at 7:37 local time at a depth of 33 km, with the epicenter 32 km southwest of the coast of Maasim town in Sarangani Province on Mindanao Island. The Philippines, an archipelagic nation in Southeast Asia, is frequently affected by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis due to its location along the Pacific "Ring of Fire," a vast horseshoe-shaped zone of intense seismic and volcanic activity surrounding the Pacific Ocean.
