    The document discusses 10 of the most dangerous earthquakes that have occurred in the Philippines. It provides details on the date, location, magnitude, damage and casualties for each earthquake. Some of the major earthquakes discussed include the 2002 Palimbang earthquake in Mindanao (Magnitude 6.8, 8 deaths), the 2012 Visayas earthquake in Negros Oriental (Magnitude 6.9, bridges collapsed isolating towns), and the 2013 Bohol earthquake (Magnitude 7.2, 222 deaths). The deadliest was the 2019 series of earthquakes in Cotabato, Mindanao, which resulted in over 40 deaths and nearly 800 injuries across three quakes over 6.0 magnitude.

    Dangerous Earthquakes In the Phillipines

    By:John Christopher S Bayudan


    The Philippines is prone to Earthquake And Volcano Eruptions because of its
    location on the so-called Pacific Ring Of Fire. In the History of the Philippines
    There’s been Thousand of Earthquakes and Volcano Eruptions
    But Today we are focusing On The Most dangerous Earthquake that occurred in
    the Philippines

    1.Palimbang Earthquake
    During March 6,2002 the Palimbang earthquake is the one of the Stongest tremor that hit
    Mindanao With the magnitude of 6.8 and 8 Fatalities, The Earthquake epicenter Is located in
    Isulan,Sultan Kudarat with the town of palimbang As the most devastated area.The Earthquake
    was produced by subduction (two tectonic plates converging together)along the Cotabato trench.
    The Earthquake also wreaked havoc on the province of Sarangani,North And South Cotabato,
    leaving around 7,684 families affected. Damaged infrastructures include public markets,
    churches, highways, schools, and residential houses. 

    2.Visayas Earthquake
    It Happened during February 6,2012 with the epicenter at Negros Oriental The magnitude of this
    Earthquake is 6.9. Several town were isolated because the bridges that connects to towns that
    connect to the rest of the province collapsed.The tremors caused landslides that buried residential
    houses

    3.Bohol Earthquake
    During October 15,2013 8:12 in Bohol.An island province located in Central Visayas
    Philippines. A Magnitude of 7.2 with epicenter of 6 kilometers S 24° W And its depth of focus
    is 12 kilometers It affected the whole Central Visayas region, particularly Bohol and
    Cebu.According to the official reports of the NDRRMC.222 people were reported dead 8 were
    missing and 976 people were injured. In all, more than 73,000 structures were damaged, of
    which more than 14,500 were destroyed

    4. 2017 Siargao Earthquake


    During February 10, 2017 at 10:03 PM Is when the earthquake happened With a magnitude of
    6.7 off the coast of Siargao del norte in the Philippines.According to PHILVOCS Earthquake
    intensity Scale the earthquake was an intensity 7 (Dstructive) Earthquake at maximum. In the
    past Siargao province has been hit by a magnitude 7.2 tremor in both 1879 and 1893

    5.2019 Luzon Earthquake


    Dangerous Earthquakes In the Phillipines
    By:John Christopher S Bayudan
    During April 29, 2019 Is when the Earthquake happened The NDRRMC Confirmed 18 deaths 3
    People Missing and 256 Injuries.The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
    (PHIVOLCS) first reported a magnitude 5.7 earthquake at 17:11 PST with an epicenter two
    kilometers N 28° E of Castillejos, Zambales. Subsequently, the report was revised to a
    magnitude 6.1 earthquake with an epicenter at 18 kilometers N 58° E of Castillejos.

    The fault from which the earthquake originated has yet to be identified, and geologists are
    focusing on two nearby fault systems, the Iba Fault and the East Zambales Fault, trying to
    determine the origin of the earthquake.

    6.2019 Cotabato Earthquakes


    The 2019 Cotabato earthquakes are a series of earthquakes that hit the province of Cotabato on
    the island of Mindanao in the Philippines in October 2019. Three of these earthquakes were
    above 6.0 on the moment magnitude scale with a Mercalli intensity of VIII . More than 40
    people were reported dead or missing and nearly 800 were injured as a result of these events.
    Mindanao lies along the complex convergent boundary between the Sunda Plate and the
    Philippine Sea Plate. Some of the oblique convergence between these plates is absorbed by
    subduction along the Cotabato Trench. The strike-slip component of the convergence is
    accommodated in part by the Philippine Fault System and in part by the Cotabato Fault System,
    a network of mainly NW-SE trending sinistral (left lateral) strike-slip faults. which forms the
    boundary between the Cotabato Arc and the Central Mindanao Volcanic Belt.[8] In the area of
    the October 2019 earthquake series, individual faults include the NW-SE trending South
    Columbio Fault, North Columbio Fault, M'Lang Fault, Makilala-Malungon Fault, and the
    Tangbulan fault and the SW-NE trending Makilana Fault and Balabag Fault

    7.2019 Davao Del sur Earthquake


    During December 15,2019 the province of davao del sur on the island of Mindanao in the
    Philippines was struck by an 6.8 magnitude It had a maximum perceived intensity of VII (Very
    Strong) At least 13 people were killed and another 210 were injured

    8.2020 Masbate Earthquake


    It Happened during August 18,2020 with a magnitude of 6.6 the earthquake struck the island
    province of Masbate (PHILVOCS) Initially reported a magnitude 6.5 earthquake striking at 8:03
    AM In Cataingan,Masbate the report was later revised to a magnitude 6.6
    Earthquake.

    9.2022 Luzon Earthquake
