September 4, 2015: Strong magnitude 7 earthquake to shake  Metro Manila, Luzon in coming weeks says Phivolcs. Everyone should be prepared and remember what we did when we have an earthquake drill.

Phivolcs said that the "Big One" or Magnitude 7 earthquake to hit Luzon, Philippines in the coming weeks. The Philippines specially Metro Manila (NCR) made a wide earthquake drill to make sure that people in the areas are ready if the strong earthquake rocks the region.

Isa pang binabantayan ay ang Philippine Trench na maaari namang magdulot ng magnitude 8.0 na lindol.

“Another possible occurrence of earthquake would be in Philippine Trench in Governor Gene­roso in Davao Oriental, which was also hit by an 8.3 magnitude earthquake on April 15, 1924. When this happens again, it could affect Davao with an 8.0 magnitude and can also cause tsunamis,” ayon kay Cabanlit.

Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) Senior Science Research Specialist Desiderio Cabanlit dahil sa sunud-sunod na pagyanig sa bahagi ng Mindanao partikular sa probinsya ng Davao at Surigao. Kasabay nito ay muli niyang pinaalala­hanan ang publiko na maging handa sa posibleng pagtama ng magnitude 7 to 7.1 lindol o higit pa sa Davao Region.

Ayon kay Cabanlit, nakababahala ang sunud-sunod na pagyanig nitong mga nakaraang araw at linggo sa mga probinsya ng Surigao Del Norte, Surigao Del Sur, Davao Del Sur at Davao Del Norte.

Kahapon ng umaga ay inuga ng magnitude 6.1 na lindol ang Sarangani sa Davao Occidental. Naitay­a itong pinakama­lakas na lindol sa mga nagdaang linggo sa rehiyon ng Mindanao.

Ayon sa Phivolcs, naitala ang pagyanig dakong alas-9:18 ng umaga sa 155 kilometers southwest ng Sarangani. May lalim na 312 kilometers ang nasabing lindol at tectonic ang origin nito.

Ayon kay Phivolcs Dir. Renato Solidum, bagaman malakas ang lindol, hindi ito naramdaman dahil naitala ito sa karagatan at masyado itong malalim.

Hindi rin, aniya, na­ging mapaminsala ang pagyanig at walang intensities ang lindol pero nagbabala ang Phivolcs sa publiko hinggil sa posibleng mga aftershocks.

Una na ring sinabi ni Cabanlit na base sa kanilang isinagawang geohazard mapping, nadiskubre nila ang mga bagong bitak sa Mati City at Compostela Valley ay bunsod ng paggalaw ng Surigao-Mati fault line.

“Part of the Minda­nao fault zone is Surigao City down to Mati City in Davao Oriental with a total length of 320 kilometers. ‘Yung segment ng Mati at tsaka ‘yung segment ng Compostela, ‘yun ang posibleng gagalaw sa Davao region,” dagdag pa ni Cabanlit.
