Intensity 5 Earthquake

I was listening the news this morning about the recent stories on the Intensity 5 Eartquake that happened last night. We were at the neighbor's ground when we suddenly felt a shake and it lasted for some time. I was a bit nervous since i received malicious text messages that really gave panic to the local villagers. I texted a friend who is based in manila and is connected to Phivolcs to know the accuracy of the message and by this afternoon i was suddenly relieved and had peace of mind.

For a brief glimpse, here is the latest seismic events at our county:
