The PRMMC and reepective MDRMMC must be ready and prepared enough if there’s after shocks occurs. They should escalate well a well-planned action or preventive measurement to make their people ready and prepared.

We felt it a bit. Hopefully no damage during aftershocks. People must be aware and vigilant on their sorroundings. Always stay alert especially those who are near the premises.

Nakakatakot, pero alam kong lagi natin katabi si lord at siya lang ang nakakaalam nang lahat. Magingman, ayon sa PHIVOLCS normal lang ang mga pagyanig sa ating bansa dahil tayo ay nakabilang sa PACIFIC RING OF FIRE, kaya dapat tayo ay always ready at malakas ang ating loob kahit kailan upang makapag isip tayo nang tama at matiwasay sa ano mang klasing sakuna. Always pray at stay safe po mga kabayan
