#KilalaninAngPinas 𝗣𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗣𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦: 𝗔𝗡 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗞𝗘-𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗣𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗚𝗢
In time for the opening of classes, a destructive Magnitude 7.0 earthquake rocked Southern Mindanao, today, 08 June 2026. This once again highlight the reality of hazards in our archipelago.
Crisscrossed by active faults and surrounded by tectonic trenches, the Philippine archipelago is one of the most earthquake-prone regions in the world.
According to PHIVOLCS, the country records an average of 20 earthquakes daily, though most are too weak to be felt. Still, history has shown that the Philippines is no stranger to powerful and destructive quakes.
This earthquake map based on data from the U.S. Geological Survey (1975–2024), while not capturing every minor tremor, reveals that nearly every region, from Extreme Northern Luzon to BARMM, has experienced seismic activity. The notable exception is Palawan, which has remained relatively quiet in terms of recorded earthquakes.
Some of the most notable earthquakes in Philippine history include the 1967 Casiguran Earthquake, which caused the collapse of the Ruby Tower in Manila and prompted the creation of the country’s National Building Code; the 1976 Moro Gulf Earthquake, considered the deadliest in the country’s modern history due to its powerful magnitude and the tsunami it triggered; the 1990 Luzon Earthquake, which caused widespread devastation in Baguio and was strongly felt in Metro Manila; and the 2013 Bohol Earthquake, which severely damaged many historical and cultural landmarks in both Bohol and Cebu.
It’s important to remember that earthquakes themselves rarely kill; it’s the secondary effects, such as collapsing structures, landslides, tsunamis, fires, and flooding, that pose the gravest risks. Strengthening awareness, preparedness, and infrastructure is essential to saving lives. #EarthquakePH #Mindanao #Linog

Florida data center generators firing up every morning, pumping out thick black diesel smoke.
Funny how burning diesel and using electricity was once called a climate emergency until data centers started consuming as much power as entire cities 🤡.
El coro del @rcmupr entonando “Lo que le pasó a Hawaii” de Bad Bunny, el ‘espaldazo’ a la presidenta de la @UPR_Oficial y el sonado abucheo, se convierte en una señal más de por dónde va la denuncia del país a un año y medio del gobierno del @pnp_pr
Liderados por la profesora Amarilis Pagán Vila, desde el coro también se gritó, a fuerza de cartelón, “Sin la U-No Hay PR” en alusión a los recortes del presupuesto universitario que tanto la Junta de Gobierno como la administración de @Jenniffer no han defendido ante la @FOMBPR
En los actos celebrados el Coliseo Rubén Rodríguez de Bayamón, se graduaron 230 médicos, 130 de ellos especialistas y subespecialistas.
