No second quake

Also on Monday, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) debunked rumors that spread over the weekend that another major temblor was going to shake the provinces of Bohol and Cebu anew.

Phivolcs Director Renato Solidum appealed to the public, especially netizens, to be more circumspect in passing information they see on social media and in text messages.

“There’s a very, very small chance of another earthquake as strong as 7.2 magnitude happening in Bohol and Cebu,” Solidum said in a press conference at the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).

Solidum explained that the north offshore fault in Bohol, which most likely generated last Tuesday’s earthquake, would have to “save up enough energy for hundreds of years before it could move the northern side of Bohol and Cebu again.”

Moreover, no one can really predict when and where an earthquake would happen, much less how strong it would be.

“So to our countrymen, the netizens, don’t believe what’s written on Facebook and SMS unless you hear the civil defense, Phivolcs, local officials, talk about an earthquake. Let’s not add to the confusion, if there’s still confusion, by spreading hoax text messages. This does not help anyone,” Solidum said.

Sixteen Phivolcs scientists and information specialists have been going around Bohol to study the fault plane that was likely the source of the Oct. 15 earthquake on the northern side of the province, as well as educate local officials and residents in the aftermath of the temblor.

There. It can't get any clearer that this.
