CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 An earthquake jolted parts of Bukidnon and Lanao del Sur early Sunday morning (September 24), the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology-10 (Phivolcs-10) said.<\/p>\n

Lanao del Sur experienced a series of seismic activities starting at 1:48 a.m. Sunday with 4.2-magnitude, according to a Phivolcs-10 update.<\/p>\n

At 4:47 a.m., an earthquake in Wao was recorded at magnitude 5.4. By 5:17 a.m., the magnitude was recorded at 4.3; 5:25 a.m., at 3.8; 6:33 a.m., at 3.3; 7:56 a.m., at 3.2; 10:32 a.m., at 3.0; and as of 10:39 a.m. at 4.0.<\/p>\n

Phivolcs-10 reported that Kalilangan, a nearby town in Bukidnon, felt an Intensity 6 following the earthquake in Wao. Kalilangan is about 18.4 kilometers from Wao.<\/p>\n

On the Wao, Lanao del Sur verified Facebook page, photos of a house slightly damaged by the earthquake were posted.<\/p>\n

Photos showed a broken wall, a cracked post, and a busted television set. As of this posting, it was yet to be determined if the damage on said house was caused by the earthquake.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cagayan de Oro residents also felt Intensity 1 earthquake at around 10:39 Sunday morning, said Marcial Labininay, Phivolcs-10 regional director, though the agency’s website reported that it was an Intensity 3 earthquake.<\/p>\n

Except for Bukidnon and this city, other parts of Northern Mindanao were unaffected by the tremor, Labininay said.<\/p>\n

Mae Acantilado, a resident of Barangay Macabalan, said she and her family were suddenly roused from sleep when the two-story house they were renting was rocked by a tremor at about 4:00 in the morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were scared. Unlike other earthquakes we have experienced in the past, this one was stronger,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Labininay said aftershocks were experienced as the earthquake had a depth of only 2 kilometers.<\/p>\n

It can be recalled that Wao had declared a state of calamity on April 12 when a magnitude 6 rocked the town affecting 14 villages and displacing at least 1,000 families. Damage from that temblor was estimated at around PHP25 million.\u00a0(PNA\/Jigger J. Jerusalem)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
