Pagputok ng volcano
On 6 March 2018, the alert level of the volcano has been downgraded to Level 3 due to
declining in unrest reflected by moderate seismicity and degassing, deflation of the
edifice, and a decrease in eruptive activity at the summit crater. As of 8 March 2018,
over 49,000 people are still taking shelter in 48 evacuation centers. (Govt. of
Philippines, 8 Mar 2018)

54,000 evacuees have returned home after the alert for the Mayon volcano was
reduced to level 3. However, volcanic-related activity is ongoing including earthquakes,
sporadic degassing and lava effusion events. The downgrading of the alert to level 3 will
allow many people staying in the 61 evacuation centres to return home.

typhoon. Haiyan is recorded to be the most devastating storm which hit landfall on
November 8, 2013.

Tsunami

A few minutes after the last stroke of midnight on August 17, 1976, a violent earthquake
occurred in the island of Mindanao spawning a tsunami that devastated more than 700
kms of coastline bordering Moro Gulf in the North Celebes Sea. This offshore event
generated by Cotabato trench, a less prominent trench system in the Philippines, was
the largest tsunamigenic earthquake to have occurred in Mindanao in the last two
decades. It was an earthquake that resulted in massive destruction of properties and
great loss of lives. The tsunami generated contributed immensely to the devastation.
The cities and provinces of Cotabato took the brunt of the earthquake while the tsunami
generated cast its doom on the provinces bordering Moro Gulf especially on the shores
of Pagadian City. According to surveys during the event, the tsunami was responsible
for 85% of deaths, 65% of injuries and 95% of those missing. After the sea spent its fury
and rolled back to its natural flow, thousands of people were left dead, others homeless
or missing and millions of pesos lost with the damages of properties.
