With Plate Tectonics, Palawan lies more central to the Sunda plate than the rest of the Philippines.
The rest of the Philippine Islands lie in the tectonically active area between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Sunda Plate. The islands were formed by Orogeny with the two plates colliding.
Earthquakes in Palawan are said to be very few moderate sized earthquakes (due to not being on a plate boundary).

∙ 13y agoThere are earthquakes in Palawan, but they may not be as frequent or severe as in other regions due to its location further away from tectonic plate boundaries. Palawan is located on the western part of the Philippine archipelago, away from the major fault lines that are the usual sources of large earthquakes in the country.
The largest earthquake ever recorded had a magnitude of 9.5 and occurred in Chile on May 22, 1960. This earthquake caused widespread damage and triggered tsunamis that affected coastlines across the Pacific Ocean, resulting in thousands of casualties.
The strength of an earthquake is measured using the Richter scale or the moment magnitude scale. Earthquakes are categorized based on their magnitude, which represents the amount of energy released. The strength of an earthquake can range from minor tremors to major destructive events depending on its magnitude.
There are no plate boundaries or hot spots near Florida, so there is nothing to cause volcanic activity.
