The Provincial Government of Sultan Kudarat has appealed to the national government for financial assistance as more than 11,600 families remain affected by a series of earthquakes.

As of February 3, 2026, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) reported more than 3,300 aftershocks, with magnitude ranging from 1.3 to 5.9.

A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck the town around 5:34 a.m. on Thursday, February 5, 2026.

Intensity II was felt in Kalamansig and Palimbang towns while Intensity I was experienced in Esperanza and Lebak.

No casualties or damage have been reported, as of this writing.

According to the local government, residents are accustomed to evacuating during tremors.

“Kami dito sa Kalamansig, we learned to be resilient. Hindi pwedeng huminto na lang ang buhay dahil may lindol. Pag may malakas na lindol, yung mga tao, kusang lumilikas. Then kami naman sa local government, we see to it na they are safe at may makain sila. Yan na yung araw-araw, yan ang aming hinaharap,” Kalamansig Mayor Ronan Eugence Garcia said.

Data showed at least 11,600 families were affected, as of February 1, 2026, prompting the provincial government to ask for financial assistance from the national government.

Governor Datu Pax Ali Mangudadatu said many livelihoods have been put on hold, which is why they are requesting P5,000 in cash aid for each family.

“Maraming livelihood ang na-put on hold that’s why I’m to trying to lobby sa DSWD for the immediate release of cash assistance to all of the 11,600 families in the amount of 5,000 pesos each,” Mangudadatu said.
