NOT FOR SALE!
The Philippines has been experiencing strong tremors lately, kaya mas mabuting handa tayo palagi. 💪
Just this October 2025, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake hit Davao Oriental, followed by a 6.8 aftershock, causing damage, power outages, and landslides. A week earlier, a 6.9 quake struck Cebu, leaving many injured and homes destroyed.
These remind us that earthquakes can happen anytime — anywhere in the country. Let’s stay alert, prepared, and prayerful. 🙏
