More than 30 sinkholes have emerged in San Remigio, Cebu, following the magnitude 6.9 earthquake that rocked the province on September 30, 2025, according to a GMA News Online report.

According to a "24 Oras Weekend" report by Ian Cruz on Saturday, October 4, 2025, San Remigio Mayor Mariano Martinez said 32 sinkholes have been found in their municipality and that the number could still rise.

"We cover them, or just declare the areas unsafe. But the problem is there are already buildings," Martinez said.

In Sitio Sansan in Barangay Maño, one large hole was filled with water, while two smaller ones can be seen nearby. A sinkhole was also spotted by the sea.

A large sinkhole also emerged beside a residential area. The family fortunately managed to escape amid the earthquake, the report added.




Sinkholes also appeared in Daanbantayan, Cebu.

A team from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) is already conducting mapping of the Bogo Bay Fault, which caused the strong earthquake that killed at least 70 people and injured more than 500.

GMA Integrated News is still trying to reach out to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau regarding possible steps to be taken following the emergence of sinkholes.

Aside from sinkholes, residents also worry about the deep cracks on the roads.

Wilma Asingua could not help but cry after she found out that their house was just above the fault line. Her family could not yet manage to retrieve their belongings.
