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!

alleviate the present situation of brother Filipinos who were victimized by

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.
