The powerful magnitude 7.4 earthquake that struck Davao Oriental on Friday morning, Oct. 10, 2025 was generated by the Philippine Trench, one of six active trenches that surround the country, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.
Philippine Trench is one of the six active trenches in the country. Others are the Manila Trench, East Luzon Trench, Negros Trench, Sulu Trench, and Cotabato Trench. It's formed by the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the Philippine Mobile Belt, making it a source of seismic activity, such as earthquakes.
Phivolcs Director Dr. Teresito Bacolcol cited historical records showing that the same area has experienced several major earthquakes caused by the movement along the Philippine Trench. These include a magnitude 7.1 quake in 1992, 7.5 in 1921, 7.2 in 1929, 7.6 in 1952, and 8.3 in 1924.
Bacolcol said these past events show that large earthquakes are part of the long-term seismic activity of the Philippine Trench.
