Philippine authorities report an earthquake near Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro, on August 7. PHIVOLCS (via different media accounts) initially describes a magnitude-5.8 quake affecting Mamburao, while another report cites a magnitude-5.4 earthquake located west of Mamburao. The Inquirer account places the event at 10:38 a.m. and gives details on its coordinates and depth: a depth of 14 kilometers and a location at 13.16°N, 120.50°E, approximately 13 kilometers south of a reference point west of Mamburao. Both reports attribute the event to tectonic activity and identify the same general area in Occidental Mindoro. The two magnitude figures indicate differing readings or updates from PHIVOLCS coverage, but both describe a moderate earthquake affecting the Mamburao region in the morning.
