MANILA\u2014<\/strong>\u00a0Negros Oriental may experience an earthquake stronger than those that have been striking the province lately, particularly on the province’s southern portion, state geologists have warned.<\/p>\n

“A potentially active fault there might generate such earthquake,” science research assistant Tom Simborio of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Friday.<\/p>\n

Simborio said Phivolcs is monitoring the area, as the series of minor earthquakes there in the past week indicates possible activity or movement of the still-unnamed fault.<\/p>\n

He, however, urged the public to keep calm and prepare for any eventuality.<\/p>\n

“Communities concerned must prepare accordingly and avoid panicking,” he said. “Knowing how to duck, cover, and hold, as well as assembling emergency kits, are among earthquake preparations people must do.”<\/p>\n

Phivolcs data show a magnitude 3.1 earthquake at struck at 5:46 p.m. on Thursday, 10 kilometers southwest of Valencia, the municipality that’s also called Luzurriaga and located in Negros Oriental’s south-lying third district.<\/p>\n

The earthquake was felt at intensity 3 in Bacong and Valencia towns and at intensity 2 in Dumaguete City and Dauin town.<\/p>\n

Another unfelt magnitude 2.3 earthquake occurred later at 8:47 p.<\/p>\n

m. Thursday, striking 17 km southwest of Valencia.<\/p>\n

On Friday, February 2, three more unfelt magnitude 2.3 earthquakes southwest of Valencia followed at 1:10 a.m., 2:27 a.m., and 4:27 a.m., Phivolcs continued.<\/p>\n

Another magnitude 1.8 earthquake took place at 2.36 a.m. Friday four km southwest of Zamboaguita town, also in Negros Oriental’s third district, the province’s southern portion.<\/p>\n

Then again, a magnitude 2.7 earthquake occurred at 5:19 a.m. Friday 15 km southwest of Valencia.<\/p>\n

Phivolcs is not expecting aftershocks and damages from the earthquakes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But Simborio said Phivolcs is monitoring the flow of seismic activities in southern Negros Oriental, particularly since successive earthquakes also hit the Zamboanguita-Dauin area the previous week.<\/p>\n

“Such earthquakes might be related to the successive ones that mainly struck Valencia this week,” he said.<\/p>\n

Four earthquakes of magnitudes 1.<\/p>\n

8, 3.3, 2.7, and 3.1 successively occurred northwest and southwest of Zamboanguita between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. on January 27, noted Phivolcs.<\/p>\n

At 6:21 a.m. on that day, Saturday, a magnitude-4.7 quake also struck 10 km northwest of Zamboanguita’s neighboring town Dauin.<\/p>\n

The quake, Phivolcs said, was reported at intensity 4 in Sibulan and Dumaguete and “instrumental” intensity 4 in Sibulan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
