Earthquake In Bohol and surrounding provinces

[vinj]

The Ayala Foundation, thru Bea Zobel Jr. has been helping the tourism community and preserving heritage sites in Bohol, I hope they can help out in reconstructing those churches.

I saw a lot of people commenting on FB that why doesnt the INC hold their medical mission in Bohol, like right now?

We should adapt and take precautions. Do the engineers and architects have any provisions for strong earthquakes? With all the high-rises being built, they should much in the same way that Japan does where earthquakes are more frequent.

From what i understand, a lot of the modern buildings today, given they adhere to the building code, should be able to withstand such occurrences (or at least remain standing even if heavily damaged). What are more in danger of collapsing are the old, low rise buildings or those "mom and pop" building constructions that may have resorted to a lot of under the table dealings and continued without the necessary permits, inspections, etc.

Hindi lang "Pacific rim of fire", from north to south. Pati Typhoon Belt from east to west.

If they were to establish a "World Ring of Political Disasters", kasama na rin tayo dun.
