The 2017 Batangas earthquakes were an earthquake swarm[2] that occurred from early April to mid-August 2017, affecting the province of Batangas in the Philippines and other nearby areas.
The first major earthquake occurred on April 4 at 8:58pm Philippine Standard Time, with a surface wave magnitude of 5.5 off the coast of Batangas. According to the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale, the earthquake had an intensity of VII (Very Strong).[3]
On April 8, stronger earthquakes occurred in the province. The PHIVOLCS recorded the strongest earthquake later that afternoon that had a surface wave magnitude of 6.0.[1] Another earthquake struck on August 11, with a surface wave magnitude of 6.3.
Three years later, Taal Volcano, about 25 kilometers from the epicenter, erupted after 43 years of inactivity.
