What's up with people, mostly not living in the #Philippines, talking about how the State should be proactive and not reactive to #earthquakes? Some even made it clear that the State should invest in predictions, we can predict #quakes now? 🤦🏽
philippines
Some people in various SNS talked about how the #Philippines should be "proactive" in #earthquakes instead of "reactive". A few even said that we should invest in #quake prediction.
We can predict earthquakes now?
And how can one become "proactive" with a natural calamity that no one can predict? The best we can do is warn people within 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 seconds (depending on distance from the epicenter). The rest are in the areas of preparedness, updating building codes, and implementation of said building codes (which includes ending corruption, shortcuts, and improving inspections).
Are there other ways to be proactive with earthquakes?
Documenting fault lines? I think our Filipino scientists are doing well on that. And there's nothing anyone can do with new fault lines like in the 1990 and 2018(?) Central Luzon quakes.
In one report earlier this morning, the Cebu fault line under the sea is currently suspected to have been very quiet for more than 400 years, hence, it was undetected (other than the fact it's under the sea).
So, what am I missing with these "proactive and not reactive" arguments abiut earthquakes in the Philippines?
📑 #geology #blog At 10 PM local time on SEP-30 2025, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck the central #philippines archipelago
🔹 The earthquake was a shallow strike-slip event, located between the islands of Cebu and Leyte; and started about 15 kilometers east of Cebu

It's #HangeulDay ( #한글날 ). #Hangeul is a script that can be adopted & adapted for various languages far more precisely than Latin/Roman.

The growing GenZ and GenAlpha rallies, which started here in the #Philippines and #Indonesia, and spread all the way to #Madagascar, are better called the "Austronesian Uprising".#Austronesian GenZ and GenAlpha are leading the way. Good job younglings. #RiseUp
This the problem with the "idol machinery" since the 90s.Extra: Japanese and Korean companies are trying this in the #Philippines and are failing. 😁 We deeply respect the privacy of celebrities.(FYI: The "idol industry" is only a subset of the broader Jpop, Kpop, #Ppop, Cpop, labels.)

I love how they properly—and as accurately as possible—depicted the traitor 1st "President" kuno of the Philippines, Emilio Aguinaldo, and his KKK Magdalo faction (Kawit, Cavite) in «Heneral Luna» (2015).You can watch it officially here:youtu.be/SYWo6FoVacY#Philippines #KKK #Katipunan

The Duterte clan keep on talking about how the #Philippines lack patriots. The answer is, the self-proclaimed "First President of the Republic of the Philippines", the traitor and t 1st Tuta ng Kano, Emilio Aguinaldo.He assassinated his friends and brothers-in-arms who taught patriotism.

It still surprises me sometimes that there are areas where the #Philippines, supposedly a "third-world" country, is a few steps ahead.We've had this for decades already. A few years ago, digital services were strictly reminded the law includes them and doesn't need an update.

I wonder what the Malaysians are actually feeling when they welcomed the son of former Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.—who planned for the takeover of Sabah—for the #ASEAN summit.Many Moros died after it was exposed—in Sabah through the hands of Malaysian forces, and in the #Philippines.
