Manila (AFP) - A major 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck near one of the Philippines key tourist hubs on Tuesday, the United States Geological Survey reported.

The quake struck at 08:12 local time (0012 GMT) some five kilometres (three miles) east of Balilihan, in the Bohol region of the archipelago, at a depth of 56 kilometres, the agency said.

The town lies across the Cebu Strait from the popular tourist destination of Cebu City, the country's fifth most populous city, about 60 kilometres (37 miles) away.

USGS issued a yellow warning, after the quake saying "some casualties and damage are possible and the impact should be relatively localised. Past yellow alerts have required a local or regional level response."

The temblor was followed by two aftershocks, each measuring more than 5.0 in magnitude.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not issue a Pacific-wide tsunami threat and there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage.

The epicentre was 629 kilometres from the capital Manila.

Balilihan has a population of around 18,500, according to the town's official website.
The Philippines lies on the so-called Pacific ring of fire, a chain of islands that are prone to quakes and volcanic eruptions.

Truth About Super Moon

 

What are the real implications of Super Moon? Would it really cause disaster and calamity to the world? What does the nearing of the Moon to the Earth have to do with high tide, earthquake and tsunami? These are some of the many inquiries of people who come across the biggest scene on the planet – Super Moon.

The issue on the awful effect of the Super Moon to the Earth is very vibrant these days after the recent tragedy in Japan. But does it really affect the event when in fact it did not show up earlier when the calamity took place. Well, this answers the questions. Super Moon does not have anything to do with the events happening on Earth.

We simply connect it to the alleged ill outcome of the showing up of the Super Moon nearest to the Earth and actually blaming the Moon for what have had occurred but not us, humans, instead. We are the ones that should be responsible of all the actions we make in this vulnerable planet. 

Don’t ever believe that something will happen if the Moon nears the Earth. If something will occur, it will – if it’s His will!

Earthquake, Tsunami Hit Japan: An Indication of 2012?

Is it a sign that it's the BEGINNING of the END of the world?

Perhaps many will agree that they don't want the world to end yet but what will you do if that is destined to come about? Well, we can't do anything but pray. Every little prayer can be a big help. Problem is, we always ask help and everything from Him but seldom we give thanks. Though He will grant almost everything that we requests and asks for, we should still ask forgiveness and be grateful to everything we have in this vulnerable world.

It sounds too religious and absurd but the fact remains that we live in this planet not just to enjoy life but to spread love and respect to each and everyone. It can be too awkward to exercise such ideals but we should be responsible enough. We can do something and that simple act will lead us to betterment of our lives.

Everything happens for a reason, like what they always say. True! So, should you do bad, it will get back to you the same way like a boomerang. But if you will act the other way around, you will surely experience stuffs appropriately.

The idea that the world will end soon will never do come true if we do good things in our environment, to the people around us, and eventually change our ill and wicked attitudes and undertakings. We should not wait that human race, the living creatures and the environment will go extinct.

Let's try to make a move and bring back what was taken. And I supposed you already know what I was up to here --- end the suffering of the world!
