• 1 quake above magnitude 4

• 6 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4

• 14 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3

• 9 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.

📍 Location & Depth

• Epicentre: off the coast of northern Cebu province — approx. 17 km NE of Bogo City.

• Depth: very shallow (about 5 km). Shallow quakes often cause more intense shaking.

Why it matters:

Because it was shallow and close to populated areas like San Remigio and Bogo, the shaking was especially strong and damaging.

Knowing the magnitude and location helps in understanding which areas were most affected and why damage could be severe

Description: The third strongest was the 7.3 magnitude earthquake with epicenter in Casiguran, Aurora in 1968. The strong tremor was felt a few provinces away – in Manila – where a six-storey building, the Ruby Tower, collapsed, inflicting injuries and instant death to at most 271 persons.

Lesson learned: Even though it's in the past but even today we still don't know when will it occur again. Let's all be active and alert all the time.

One notable impact of the earthquake in Tubigon was the destruction of the town hall. Additionally, the St. Isidore the Farmer Church in Tubigon was heavily damaged .
