M 7.8 Earthquake Strikes Mindanao, Philippines with Tsunami Warning

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck 26km southwest of Kablalan in Mindanao, Philippines, triggering tsunami warnings and reports of fatalities. While the epicenter is in southern Philippines away from major BPO hubs, the significant magnitude and tsunami alert could impact communications, transportation, and staff availability across Philippine operations centers including Manila (~450k seats), Cebu (~80k seats), and Clark (~40k seats). Operations leaders should monitor for potential infrastructure disruptions, staff absenteeism, and communication outages as aftershocks and secondary effects develop.
