Earthquake In Bohol and surrounding provinces

[macsd]

Yung isang simbahan sa Bohol na nasira (the one beside Loboc), yan yung may siraulong gumawa ng bridge papunta sa simbahan na hindi mo alam kung saan dapat idadaan without destroying the church (so naging white elephant).

I've seen this one when we cruised the Loboc river. Now the engineer can say, " i was thinking ahead of time". Demolish the church as nature has did it already and proceed with the bridge.

I wonder why the people has to suffer. Super typhoon in Central Luzon followed by a devastating earthquake in Central Visayas.

My God, you can spare the people of the further sufferings. You can just put both these disaster together and hit Senate, Congress and Malacanang all together with their tenants and the pinoys will be all grateful.

PH is geographically cursed. No amount of praying will change that.

That was my actual comment to the wifey when we saw the pics... "well, they can now proceed with the dang bridge".

We're blessed with a lot of natural resources yet cursed with a lot of natural disasters. It's all part of being in the "Pacific rim of fire". The sad this is we can't make proper use of our resources and at the same time we don't know squat on how to deal with disasters.

OMG, nawasak yung mga simbahan!

I've been to Baclayon and that church beside the bridge to nowhere. Tsk, sayang.

The Ayala Foundation, thru Bea Zobel Jr. has been helping the tourism community and preserving heritage sites in Bohol, I hope they can help out in reconstructing those churches.

We should adapt and take precautions. Do the engineers and architects have any provisions for strong earthquakes? With all the high-rises being built, they should much in the same way that Japan does where earthquakes are more frequent.

Hindi lang "Pacific rim of fire", from north to south. Pati Typhoon Belt from east to west.

I saw a lot of people commenting on FB that why doesnt the INC hold their medical mission in Bohol, like right now?

From what i understand, a lot of the modern buildings today, given they adhere to the building code, should be able to withstand such occurrences (or at least remain standing even if heavily damaged). What are more in danger of collapsing are the old, low rise buildings or those "mom and pop" building constructions that may have resorted to a lot of under the table dealings and continued without the necessary permits, inspections, etc.

If they were to establish a "World Ring of Political Disasters", kasama na rin tayo dun.

Hahaha. Malabo mangyari yan, wala kikitain mga iglesia ni camote sa Bohol.

Besides, their usual excuse would be ... Catholic Churches naman ang na-damage, hindi inc church.
