Bukidnon Earthquake
« on: September 26, 2012, 10:15:41 AM »
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) clarified that the 5.6 magnitude quake that recently hit Valencia City and Maramag in Bukidnon and neighboring cities and provinces, was caused by the movement of the tectonic plate, said Phivolcs Northern Mindanao Director Marcial Labinay.

Appearing in a session of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Tuesday, Labinay said the tectonic plate has its origin between the upland barangays of Guinoyoran and Lourdes of Valencia City.

The quake was not related to volcanic activity, said Labinay who added that the epicenter of the quake had a shallow depth.

Labinay said last year's intensity 5.5 quake that hit Valencia and nearby areas is believed to have been triggered by the same fault line, and not by the Central Mindanao fault, Cabanglasan fault or Tagoloan fault.

Mt. Kalayo known as Musuan peak of Maramag and Mt. Kalatungan of Bukidnon are active volcanoes but have no registered volcanic activity, he said.  - by PNA

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
