According to a search via Meta tool Crowdtangle, the recent fake post originated from one posted on 29 October 2021 by Facebook page Pasakit, which generated 153,301 Likes as of 26 April 2022.
The Crowdtangle report showed the hoax’s popularity spiked at least three times since 29 October 2019. The fake news spread after two strong earthquakes hit North Cotabato on that day.“On 29 October 2019, two strong earthquakes struck the province of North Cotabato, Mindanao. The first, a magnitude 6.6 in Tulunan at 09:04; the second, a magnitude 6.1 and 9km deep at 10:42 with almost the same epicenter. Just two days after, on 31 October 2019 at 09:15, another tectonic magnitude 6.
“A state of calamity was declared for Davao del Sur on 30 October and Cotabato on 5 November, the two hardest hit provinces. These earthquakes, as well as the magnitude 6.3 earthquake recorded on 16 October 2019, with the same epicenter location, are considered part of a sequence of events resulting from interdependent faults in the region. No tsunami warnings were issued but many aftershocks, ranging from magnitude 1.5 to 5.5 were recorded.
