MALAYBALAY City -- Another quake rocked Maramag town, this province, at 3:08 a.m., February 10. Mr. Marcial Labininay, Northern Mindanao director of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), said the tremor was recorded at magnitude 3.8 with Intensity II. He said the quake’s epicenter was 7.72 km north, 125 km east, 4 km south and 23 km west of Maramag, Bukidnon. “Actually, a series of 3 quakes rocked the area at 3:08 a.m., 3:33 a.m. and 3:46 a.m. But only one of these, the 3:08 am shaking, was felt,” Labininay said. Phivolcs reported the latest tremor in Bukidnon occurred at 1:01 p.m. of February 5 recorded at Intensity II with 3.2 magnitude in Maramag and Intensity I in Don Carlos. Its epicenter was 7.84 km north, 124.27 km east, 9 km south and 32 km west of Maramag. “Today’s quake was tectonic in origin and was very shallow. There were no damages recorded,” Labininay said. He also explained that “Intensity” is determined on the strength of shaking produced by the earthquake at a certain location. Intensity I is considered low, while Intensity 7 is high in scale that could damage buildings and other structures. (RLRB/PIA 10, Bukidnon/jdelpf )

Ang Besigan mao ang labing layo nga barangay sa Cagayan de Oro, sikbit sa mga lalawigan sa Bukidnon ug Lanao. Nangulo sa grupo ang titular head sa Padayon Pilipino nga si Mayor Vicente Emano.

for “Best Water Management Practice in the World”
FORMER Las Pinas Rep. Cynthia Villar says she can do more and push for her advocacies particularly her “livelihood projects out of wastes” on a national scope if she wins senator in the May elections. Misis Hanep Buhay’s livelihood projects from wastes have gained international recognition when she was given the UN award for “Best Water Management Practice in the World,” beating 38 countries. Since her projects from wastes have been very successful in Las Pinas and are
being duplicated in other areas, Villar wants to expand their reach and provide job opportunities especially to women all over the country. She said women should also help their husbands provide for their children. SINABI ni ex-Las Pinas Rep Cynthia Villar na mas marami siyang magagawa at higit niyang maisusulong ang kanyang mga adbokasiya partikular ang kanyang mga livelihood projects mula sa basura kung papapalarin siyang manalong senador.
