The Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) reported that at least sixteen individuals were hurt after a magnitude 6 earthquake rocked some parts of Mindanao last Wednesday evening.
According to the OCD bulletin released on Friday, the Davao de Oro quake affected 97 individuals, and damaged 52 structures and four houses.
Two incidents of earthquake-induced landslides were recorded.
The OCD also said that no major interruption in communication, power, and roads were reported.
The civil defense office said that it provided help to affected communities and that search and rescue teams were on standby.
The Philippines is regularly rocked by quakes due to its location on the Pacific “Ring of Fire”, an arc of intense seismic activity that stretches from Japan through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin.
