The Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology allayed fears that the series of earthquakes indicate volcanic activity as it is tectonic in origin.
The agency reported that the highest magnitude recorded by the Philippine Seismic Network in the series of earthquakes on March 6 and 7 was felt in the municipalities of New Bataan, Maragusan, Nabunturan, Maco, and Pantukan in Davao de Oro. Philvolcs advised affected communities and the residents to protect themselves by doing the “drop, cover, and hold” while at homes and offices, heavy furniture and appliances should be strapped to the walls, and hanging objects securely fastened to prevent these from causing injuries.
Meanwhile, the earthquake that occurred on the second day of the province’s Bulawan Festival and 25th founding anniversary celebrations on March 7, caused panic and resulted in significant damage.
