Initial readings from the US Geological Survey (USGS) and European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) recorded the quake at 7.4 magnitude, later upgraded to 7.6 by Phivolcs. The agency warned that residents could face aftershocks and tsunami waves for several hours.

The US Tsunami Warning System alerted communities within 300 kilometers of the epicenter about hazardous waves. Phivolcs Director Teresito Bacolcol urged coastal residents to stay away from the shore. Waves of up to one meter were expected along the Pacific coast within two hours.

Authorities ordered people in coastal zones to move to higher ground or evacuate inland immediately. So far, no major damage has been reported. The Philippines, located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, frequently experiences strong earthquakes and volcanic activity.

Sharma had dragged a 31-year-old technology recruiter into a nursing room on March 1, 2023, where he kissed her forcefully and made repeated sexual advances despite her resistance. The victim had met Sharma for the first time that evening after a colleague shared his profile.

Sharma denied the charges, claiming the woman consented and suggested going to the nursing room. The defence argued the encounter was voluntary but escalated after a remark about her breath. The court rejected this and described Sharma’s actions as “extremely high” in sexual exploitation.

The prosecution sought a sentence of at least four years and six strokes, which was accepted by the court. Sharma faced between two and ten years of imprisonment along with caning. His lawyer had requested a lighter sentence of three to three-and-a-half years with fewer strokes.
