The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology's primer on the recent earthquake that originated from the East Bohol Fault:

What’s Really happened at Bohol?

At 8:12 AM on 15 October 2013, Tuesday, a destructive earthquake of magnitude 7.2 shook the island of Bohol and nearby provinces. Smaller-magnitude earthquakes followed afterwards, and as of 1:00 pm, 16 October 2013, 885 earthquakes have been recorded by the PHIVOLCS seismic monitoring network. At least 15 events were reportedly felt in the epicentral area. The main shock and succeeding aftershocks were located in the vicinity of Bohol. These recorded events were shallow, with a depth of at most 32 kilometers. Based on spatial distribution of succeeding events and characteristics of the earthquake, the event is tectonic in origin.
Based on preliminary intensity reports, the strongest ground shaking at PEIS VII was felt at Tagbilaran City and several cities in the province of Cebu. Neighboring island provinces of Cebu, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental, Camiguin, Panay, Leyte, and several areas in northeastern Mindanao felt the earthquake at varying intensities of PEIS I-VI.
Moderate-magnitude (M5 to 6.9) earthquakes have also affected Bohol Island in the past!

AGAIN, SAE Singapore Alumni Chapter an utmost calling for an assistant or joint effort from the other group of any Filipino Community and the Philippine Embassy in Singapore may have to be extended and be done to alleviate the present situation of brother Filipinos who were victimized by “LINDOL NG BOHOL" disaster which was so disastrous killings so many lives damaging properties and putting the affected and less fortunate people in so much problems and hardships in life, We appeal to the Government Agencies and the other Filipino Group in any part of the world to do their and extra utmost help in terms of foods, medicine, clothing and most of all financial assistance to carry out and meet some of the important and needed expenses, either for relocation making the family in a safe and stable living condition and suggesting that government may have to do some applicable measures to prevent the occurrence of such tragic natural disaster. We wish and look forward that everything for the good of our Kababayans who are affected in the calamities. As being an "EPSILONIANS" we do our part and always " Open Arms" to everybody and willing to help whatever we can even though we are far away from our country land buts we still continued to extend our helping hand in anyways.
