Depends on the soil/rock type underneath you. Shaking severity can be amplified or attenuated.

To people that lives near Taal area.
Is Taal Volcano reacting to this latest earthquake?

I work for PHIVOLCS. No volcanic earthquakes coming from Taal.

Have you check if there is a change in depth in the daily normal volcanic tremors?

Zero volcanic earthquakes. All parameters are within background levels or due to seasonal change.

Are there other equally useful sites to visit other than this?

Very informative

PHIVOLCS: Solidum not discounting possibility that tremors with similar or higher intensity will be experienced in the ff days.

That's what scares me. I hope nothing like the 1990 earthquake will happen again

Reminds me of bohol. Iirc, lots of quakes one before the other before the big one came. Hoping this will be different. Last time i checked we are a km or 2 away from the west valley fault pa naman.

AFAIK there are no precursor tremors prior to the main Bohol earthquake, aftershocks, yes a lot.
This is the reason why Phivolcs got the location of the epicenter wrong, it was USGS who corrected them.
And the earthquake epicenter is a "new" deep(buried) fault line.

In my personal opinion, numerous small earthquakes will "rarely" leads to a big one, In my opinion also, if the Big One happens it will not be along the west valley fault it could be parallel to it or across it. For your peace of mind check your area hazard map and look if there are other small faults passing your place thats connected to the west valley fault. Then check what kind of soil your house is built on, there are soil types that can withstand a strong earthquake.

Both of them neither got it right nor wrong. Phivolcs already got the plot/location right but could not decide if it was correct because the fault that was historically known to cause a large earthquake and tsunami in the 90s was farther away. Thats why it was called a blind fault, no earthquake has occurred in the area since the 1900s when observational seismology was applied in the Philippines by the Jesuits and Americans.
