Two earthquakes of magnitude 4.9 and 5.2 that jolted Davao de Oro province barely five hours apart at dawn on Monday destroyed a major highway and prompted the suspension of classes throughout the province.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the magnitude 4.9 quake that struck at 12:49 a.m. on Monday was still an aftershock of the magnitude 6 quake that shook the province on Feb. 1. Phivolcs traced the recent quake’s epicenter some 9 kilometers southeast of New Bataan town, with depth of focus at 5 km.
Some houses in Maragusan reported cracks on the floor and on their concrete wall while in Nabunturan town, the ceiling of the classroom inside Nabunturan National High School also fell during the quake.Phivolcs reported that both quakes were tectonic in origin but Uy said they were trying to alert Phivolcs about reports by some villagers who reportedly saw flashes from the crater of Mt. Leonard Kniaseff in Maco town, shortly before the 12:49 a.m. quake. Mt. Leonard is an active volcano.
