SHARE

On Monday evening, a 5.4 magnitude earthquake occurred near Manila that was reportedly accompanied by strong tremors. The seismologists explained that it is tectonic, with the epicenter found offshore from Batangas. According to the PHIVOLCS, the earthquake depth is estimated at around 12 kilometers. Such a level falls into the class of a moderate quake.

Residents in Metro Manila and nearby provinces reported feeling the quake. In many cities and towns, residents rushed out of buildings as a precaution. No significant damage or injuries have been reported thus far; however, authorities are conducting assessments to ensure the safety of affected areas. Officials have advised the public to stay vigilant for possible aftershocks, which are common following seismic events of this magnitude.

The Philippines is a country that sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, thus placing it in the earthquake and volcanic eruption risk category. This quake reminded everyone once again that disaster preparedness is of paramount importance in this region. PHIVOLCS reiterates the call to secure heavy furniture, identify safe zones in homes, and participate in earthquake drills.

Emergency response teams are also on standby with local government units monitoring the situation. As different residents share experiences through social media, the calamity manifests the resilience of the Filipino in the face of natural disasters. Experts say even though this quake was moderate, vigilance must persist because the Philippines is an earthquake-prone area.
