2 earthquake hits davao

The 6.1 MAGNITUDE earthquake (previously reported with a magnitude of 6.5) hit Davao Occidental on Saturday, but the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) quickly dismissed the risk of a tsunami.

Renato Solidum Jr., president of Phivolex, told the Manila Times that the recent earthquake was strong, but it was far from southern Mindanao, so the damage was not significant.

“Please note that the epicenter was southeast of Plot Island in Davao Occidental; it is far from southern Mindanao. It is a strong earthquake, but the distance is relatively far from the land of Mindanao,” he said.

Hence, we do not expect a major tremor in southern Mindanao and it will not be devastating.

A 6.5-magnitude earthquake was first triggered by the Phivolcs a few minutes after the earthquake, but was reduced less than half an hour later.

Phivolks said the quake of tectonic origin occurred around 10:26 a.m. 275 kilometers southeast of Balut Island in the province’s Sarangani town.

“The earthquake, although a magnitude 6.1, was not shallow and had a depth of 33 kilometers. That is why we do not expect a tsunami,” Solidum explained.

He said severity 3 was felt in Sarangani, Davao Occidental.

Meanwhile, Phivolks said a 5.4-magnitude earthquake hit Davao Oriental early Saturday morning.

At a depth of 102 kilometers, the quake occurred at about 4:43 a.m., 15 kilometers southeast of Baganga town in the province.

Solidum said severity 4 was recorded in the East Davao municipalities of Baganga, Karaja, Mako and Davao de Oro.

He said distress 3 was felt in the towns of Moab, Moncayo, and Davao de Oro; the municipalities of Lupon, Manay, San Isidro and Davao Oriental; the town of Besleigh, Surigao del Sur; and Rosario, Agusan del Sur.

Solidum said he did not expect damage from the quake, which was tectonic in origin, but that aftershocks could occur.
