Because the Philippine Trench is inside the Pacific Ring of Fire
Earthquakes mostly occur in the eastern part of the Philippines along the Philippine Trench, where the Philippine Sea Plate subducts beneath the Philippine Plate. Regions such as Mindanao, Visayas, and Luzon are particularly prone to earthquakes due to their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries.
Volcanic and tectonic earthquakes in the Philippines occur due to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area with significant tectonic activity. The country sits at the convergence of several tectonic plates, including the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate, leading to frequent movements that generate tectonic earthquakes. Additionally, volcanic earthquakes are triggered by the movement of magma within the numerous active volcanoes in the region, which can cause ground shaking as pressure builds and is released. This combination of tectonic and volcanic activity makes the Philippines highly prone to earthquakes.
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
Earthquakes
The frequency of earthquakes depends on the location. in Japan, earthquakes occur 3 times a month, and in the Sahara in Africa they occur once in five years..
of course in earth's crust !maybe in the Philippines:)mhaezx

The lithosphere is where earthquakes occur.
"Philippines have this areas who have dangerous structures and also, the philippines can have a 7.0 + magnitude. Which is, some people die and non living things stop functioning." -From PAkYu.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Earthquakes and volcanoes both occur in land and ocean. =)
Yes that is generally where most earthquakes occur
Intraplate earthquakes occur farther inland than other earthquakes. These earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate, away from plate boundaries where most earthquakes typically occur. Intraplate earthquakes can be caused by ancient faults or stress within the plate itself.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
Most earthquakes occur at or near the boundaries between tectonic plates.
