            Current Info about the Earthquake:
Earthquake Information No.1
Date and Time: 12 May 2021 - 09:09 AM
Magnitude = 5.8
Depth = 110 kilometers
Location = 13.55N, 120.73E - 011 km N 01° E of Abra De Ilog (Occidental Mindoro)
Because the earthquake is deep, many will feel it but it is not damaging according to Dr. Solidum, head of PHIVOLCS (Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology). If the Magnitude 5.8 is shallow, like less than 10 kilometers, it is possible that we will see the damage because the energy of the earthquake is not reduced much. The place where it happened is like an 1 1/2 hour flight from my place. I hope the news will continue that nothing bad happened in Abra De Ilog and in other towns in Occidental Mindoro. Praying for the safety of my fellow countrymen there.

                            @rakski Maybe you should have felt a little bit but you didn't so maybe that's one reason

                    Yup, read about it online but didn't feel the earthquake earlier.

                    I got a text message from National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) informing me about the earthquake this morning, praying that there are no casualties and damages.
