Significant magnitude 5.4 quake hits 52 km south of Mati, Philippines in the morning

The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 5.4 quake in the Philippines near Mati, Davao Oriental, Davao, only 17 minutes ago. The earthquake hit in the morning on Sunday 18 July 2021 at 8:09 am local time at an intermediate depth of 82 km. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), which listed it as a magnitude 5.3 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency at magnitude 5.6, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 5.7.

Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Nangan (pop. 3,400) located 15 km from the epicenter, Tibanbang (pop. 7,800) 23 km away, Mati (pop. 105,900) 52 km away, Lupon (pop. 27,200) 53 km away, Malita (pop. 41,100) 72 km away, Manay (pop. 20,300) 86 km away, Santa Maria (pop. 16,800) 87 km away, Samal (pop. 43,500) 89 km away, Davao City (pop. 1,212,500) 97 km away, and General Santos City (pop. 679,600) 127 km away.
