The Earthquake Also Shook Cebu
« on: February 06, 2012, 03:34:24 PM »
the epicenter was in toledo city in cebu.  it struck at 11:49 a.m.

we were walking at the terraces at ayala center when those huge glass panels that line the restaurants started to shake terribly.  it took me time to realize what was happening.  one of my companions pulled me to the farthest part, that means toward the grills of the balconies, away from those glass panels.  i thought that was it; the glass shattering over me.  uh-huh.

i chose to bail out of ayala center soonest.  all the buildings have been evacuated. i mean, not thoroughly evacuated but there were unusually more people outside, and they looked like office workers.

all classes from elementary to college levels have been suspended.  i rushed to school to fetch our little girl.  i saw kids (the rule was they had to be fetched, otherwise they had to stay) crying on the shoulders of their parents.  mine declared that she cried, "but only on the inside".  (i wished she can expel the terror out by crying.  oh, well, to each his own process.)  i checked on other family members.  everybody's fine.       

we're now at home after extricating ourselves from a terrible traffic jam.  someone told me that our roof had rattled and all our cats tried to climb the highest possible loft that they could reach.

an unusual day, all right.  to think that i went to ayala center only to check with a bank because i've forgotten my atm pin number.

thank God, you're safe, islander. it could have been a devastating earthquake if it lasted more than 10 seconds. i thought the earthquake struck tagbilaran only, but when i watched news on the tv I then learned that many parts of Visayas were affected.

as of today, one child died in Tayasan, Negros Oriental after a wall collapsed and the kid was pinned down.

The Phivolcs raised tsunami alert level 2 after the earthquake. 

The tsunami warning was raised to put on alert the residents in coastal areas, particularly in the eastern portion of eastern Negros Oriental and the western portion of Cebu province.

“People are advised to stay away from the shoreline.  People should not go to the coast to watch the tsunami.  People whose houses are very near coastal areas in Negros and Cebu islands are strongly advised to be watchful,” the agency added.

The Philippine Coast Guard also prevented all sea vessels plying Cebu and Negros provinces from making trips as long as the tsunami alert level was in place.

The tsunami alert was lifted as of 2:30 p.m.

5 dead, more missing

A child in Tayasan town was the first reported fatality a few hours after the quake.  The victim was pinned by a concrete wall that collapsed during the quake, reported the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC).

Mayor Ernesto Reyes of Guihulngan City, also in Negros Oriental, reported that as many as 30 houses were buried by a quake-triggered landslide.

Reyes said four people were killed in the landslide and 29 more were missing.

NDRRMC executive director Benito Ramos said that he received a report that the earthquake shattered several glass panels of a shopping mall in San Carlos City.

The Associated Press reported that people rushed out of school buildings and malls during the quake.  It reported that a three-story office building collapsed in La Libertad town ,but there were no immediate reports of casualties.

A police officer reported that five bamboo and wooden cottages were washed out from a La Libertad beach resort by huge waves, but there were no reports of injuries.

Negros Oriental police chief Edward Carranza said that the temblor damaged many houses in Guihulngan, a city of about 180,000 people, and he ordered his men to help displaced residents find shelter.  A public market collapsed and a bridge in the city was damaged.

Operations in government offices and classes in all school levels in Negros, Cebu and Iloilo provinces were suspended due to the strong earthquake.

6.8 quake in Philippines kills 5 and buries homes; scores missing

Monday, 06 February 2012

for unusual waves as it raised a tsunami alert at level 2. (File photo)

MANILA

A strong earthquake in the central Philippines killed at least five people Monday as it destroyed buildings and triggered landslides that buried dozens of houses, trapping residents.  At least 29 people were missing.

The 6.8-magnitude quake, in a narrow strait just off Negros Island, caused a landslide in Guihulngan, a city of about 180,000 people in Negros Oriental province.  As many as 30 houses were buried and at least 29 people were missing, Mayor Ernesto Reyes said.

Reyes said that four people died there, including a student at a college and two others in an elementary school.  Another person died in the collapse of a town market.

The quake, which hit at 11:49 a.m. (3:49 a.m. GMT), triggered another landslide in the mountain village of Solongon in La Libertad town, also in Negros Oriental.  An unknown number of people were trapped, said La Libertad police chief inspector Eric Arrol Besario.

“We’re now getting shovels and chain saws to start a rescue because there were people trapped inside.  Some of them were yelling for help earlier,” Besario told The Associated Press by phone.  Three key bridges in the town suffered cracks and were no longer passable, he said.

Philippine seismologists briefly issued a tsunami alert for the central islands.  Five bamboo and wooden cottages were washed out from a beach resort in La Libertad by huge waves, but there were no reports of injuries, said police Superintendent Ernesto Tagle.  Elsewhere along the coast, people rushed out of schools, malls and offices.

The epicenter was closest to Tayasan, a coastal town of about 32,000 people flanked by mountains in Negros Oriental province.  A child there died when a concrete fence of a house collapsed, said Benito Ramos, head of the Office of Civil Defense.

“So far one dead, but we could not yet account for the damage to buildings,’ Tayasan police officer Alfred Vicente Silvosa told The AP by phone.  He said there were still aftershocks “so we are outside, at the town plaza.  We cannot inspect buildings yet because it’s dangerous.”

“I felt the building shaking, so I rushed out of the building.  Our computers, shelves, plates, the cupboards, water dispenser all fell,” he said.

A three-story office building also collapsed in La Libertad, but occupants managed to run out.

Negros Oriental police chief Edward Carranza said the temblor damaged many houses in Guihulngan and he ordered his men to help displaced residents find shelter.

Officials in some areas suspended work and canceled classes.  Power and telecommunications were knocked out in several places.

Carranza said police rushed out of his building when the quake struck.  “All my personnel ran out fearing our building would collapse,” he said.

“Now it’s shaking again,” he said as an aftershock hit.  “My keychain is dancing.”

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was centered 44 miles (72 kilometers) north of Dumaguete city on Negros and hit at a depth of 29 miles (46 kilometers).  The area is about 400 miles (650 kilometers) southeast of the capital, Manila.

President Benigno Aquino III’s spokesman said authorities did not force people to evacuate but implored those along the shore to be vigilant.  The coast guard grounded all vessels while the tsunami alert was in effect.

A mall in San Carlos city in neighboring Negros Occidental province was damaged when its windows were shattered by the shaking, said Ramos, the civil defense leader.  The quake was also felt in Cebu, where it lasted about 30 seconds.

The Philippines is located in the Pacific “Ring of Fire” where earthquakes and volcanic activity are common.  A 7.7-magnitude quake killed nearly 2,000 people in Luzon in 1990.

A 6.8 earthquake hit the central Philippines Monday, killing at least one person and causing panic in cities where buildings shook, authorities said.

The quake hit 70 kilometers (44 miles) north of the city of Dumaguete on Negros Island at 11:49 am (0349 GMT) at a depth of 46 kilometers, the US Geological Survey said.

The Philippine Institute for Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) measured it as 6.9 at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers, centered off the heavily populated central island province of Negros and Cebu.
“One child was crushed to death by a collapsed wall in Negros,” Office of Civil Defence chief Benito Ramos told AFP.

He said the violent shaking of buildings in the cities of Cebu and San Carlos led to broken windows and cracks on the walls, but no high rises were believed to have sustained major damage.

Philippine seismologists and local residents said there was panic but no immediate reports of casualties or major damage.

The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said there was no danger of a widespread destructive tsunami.

But Phivolcs raised its tsunami warning to the second of a three-stop alert level for coastal areas in Negros, meaning the public is asked to stay away from beaches and “be watchful” for any signs of rising tides.

However,  level two does not warrant any evacuation.
Ramos said the chances of a tsunami or a tidal wave were very slim because the quake’s epicenter was located on a narrow strait between two islands.

The Philippines sits on the Pacific “Ring of Fire” — a belt around the Pacific Ocean where friction between shifting tectonic plates causes frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity. - Agence France Presse

despite different initial reports, it's 2-to-1 for negros oriental as the epicenter, so it must be negros then.

it was bad in downtown cebu sometime in the mid-afternoon because of the rumored tsunami.  it is alleged that it took only some pranks of motorcycle-riding guys shouting "naa na ang tsunami!" and people spilled out of buildings and the streets were emptied of public transport. 

look at what rumor and a sick humor can do to a multitude.

luckily, we were already safe at home with our little girl.  i was told that i was one of the first to fetch a child in the school; i thank the heavens for my insistence in going home straight knowing the terrible traffic that had to be negotiated.

the tsunami rumor spread fast and spilled over to that school in uptown cebu.  the sight of people running on the streets terrified the school authorities.  they thought it was a chase for a criminal so they had to hurriedly close the school gates.  and then it was as if the whole school was filled with the sound of wailing kids who were still waiting to be fetched.  they've just been through the terror of an earthquake, now they thought the tsunami was coming.

some parents who were already inside the campus when the gates were locked (some unfortunate others were locked out for a time) had the sense to help calm the situation.  after a community prayer led by a nun using a public address system, an act that calmed the kids greatly, an american couple was reported to have laughed and said, "it's okay for our kid to stay on here.  there's no tsunami because we don't have an ocean in cebu".  another mother did it best by using the microphone and announcing that she works at the dpwh, her office is located beside the sea, and the sea waters are still there.

elsewhere, radio commentators did their part to dispel the rumor.  because some side streets were jammed by jeepneys abandoned by drivers, they asked, "makadagan kaha mo padung ngadto sa cebu plaza kun naay tsunami?  nagtoo kaha mo nga di mo maabtan?  pamalik mo kay naa pa ang dagat sa carbon (market)".

PDI Headline: Update at 10 PM - At least 40 persons, including a nine-year-old girl, died in Negros Oriental during the 6.9-magnitude earthquake that hit the province and other areas shortly before noon Monday, local authorities here said.

The quake hit 70 kilometers (44 miles) north of the city of Dumaguete on Negros Island at 11:49 am (0349 GMT) at a depth of 46 kilometers, the US Geological Survey said.

The Philippine Institute for Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) measured it as 6.9 at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers, centered off the heavily populated central island province of Negros and Cebu.

Tsunami scare hits Cebu City

ABS-CBNnews.com
Updated as of 02/06/2012 9:06 PM


MANILA, Philippines - False rumors of a tsunami coming to devastate earthquake-affected areas caused widespread panic in Visayas today, stopping traffic in Cebu City and panicking residents.

A video taken earlier today at around 3:30 p.m. by hotel worker Jose Gochangco using his iPhone showed people running on the streets, and drivers honking their horns as motor vehicles were stuck in traffic.

Gochangco was in the lobby on the 7th floor of the GV Hotel on Osmeña Boulevard corner Sanciangko Street in Cebu City when people who had come up from the street told hotel staff that seawater had reached downtown Cebu City.

A security guard went up to the hotel’s top floor to see if the people’s story was true, but found that the coast looked the same as usual, and nothing seemed to have changed.

“Pagtingin namin sa labas, may mga tao nang tumatakbo, may mga kotseng bumubusina. Puro flat land dito, pumupunta yata sila sa pedestrian bridge for safety, o gusto lang nilang makalayo sa tubig,” Gochangco said.

False reports had allegedly been spread by people on motorcycles, who said that a tsunami was coming to sweep Cebu City away.

According to Gochangco, “Karamihan ng tao daw, nakita nila ang ibang taong tumatakbo, sumali na rin sila.”

“May mga tumawag rin nga sa aking kaibigan ko, nagsasabi, binaha na raw ba kami, nasaan na ang tubig, sabi ko wala naman dito,” he said.

Foreign tourists had also come up to the hotel to seek refuge or even watch the water coming in.

About an hour after the panic, local officials reportedly went around the city in a fire truck to clarify that there was no tsunami.

“Nobody on our staff was hurt,” Gochangco said. “Sana hindi naman dumating ang panahon na magiging mahalagang mataas ang building ng hotel namin.”

A magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck between the islands of Cebu and Negros on Monday morning, killing at least seven people. Intensity V was felt in Cebu City.

Tsunami alert level 2 was raised by the Philippine Institute for Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) in Negros and Cebu. The alert was lifted at 2:30 p.m. (With reports from Lean Lacap and Rhoel Fernandez, Regional Network Group)

morag paul revere's ride sa u.s. history, hehe.  sa pagkakaron, gipangita na sa authorities ning mga tawhana.  'mga' kay duha man kintahay sila, ang ga-drive ug ang gaangkas sa motorcycle.  on hindsight, morag kataw-anan na.  hinoon, di tingali ko mokatawa kun usa pa ko sa nakadagan.  malooy lang gyod ko sa mga schoolchildren who had to go through a second terror of a tsunami false alarm soon after going through the terror of a very real earthquake.

Dili pud nato mabasol ang mga tawo kay nakita na nila ang tsunami sa Thailand ug Japan. The fact nga dihay linog would warrant their fear of tsunami.
