Jasareno has not yet received reports on how many households will be affected but pointed out that “only a portion of Purok 7 and 8 in Barangay Poblacion Uno†is affected by the sinkhole.
“Sinkhole is a natural phenomenon in Bohol because 80 percent of its soil is made of limestone, which is water soluble. Over geologic time or millions of years before the limestone will be dissolved. But it becomes hazardous if there is a rupture because the soil cover could induce landslide,†he explained.
MGB is currently mapping out Bohol province to determine the exact location of sinkholes and number of affected households, Jasareno said.
