Earthquake in the Philippines September 4, 2012
An earthquake jolted the Philippines early Tuesday morning, September 4, 2012.

The 5.8-magnitude quake hit at around 3:44 a.m local time and centered at 40 km Southwest of Malaybalay, Bukidnon, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs).

The temblor, which struck at a depth of 3 k.m., was tectonic in origin, Phivolcs added.

It was felt in Bukidnon, Cagayan de Oro, Kidapawan City and other areas in Mindanao.

Intensity V - Musuan, Maramag (Bukidnon)
Intensity IV - Valencia City (Bukidnon); Arakan, North Cotabato;
Intensity III - Malaybalay City (Bukidnon); Cagayan De Oro City, Misamis Oriental;
Kidapawan City
Intensity II - Butuan City; Cotabato City

Before this quake, Phivolcs recorded four other earthquakes on Tuesday, all of them had the same epicenter as the powerful 7.6-magnitude quake last Friday, August 31, 2012. Their readings were as follows:

Magnitude 3.9 - 12:00 a.m., Guiuan (Eastern Samar)
Magnitude 4.5 - 12:01 a.m., Guiuan (Eastern Samar)
Magnitude 3.4 - 12:33 a.m., Guiuan (Eastern Samar)
Magnitude 3.6 - 2:20 a.m., Guiuan (Eastern Samar)

The Philippines lies on the Pacific “Ring of Fire” where continental plates collide causing frequent seismic and volcanic activity.

we felt it... especially here at mountain view college in valencia city. we are in the deep sleep that time when the ground shook. i was on the 2nd deck and we are staying in the dormitory with 300+ male occupants. i jumped off my bed leaving my laptop and two phones on my bed sabi ko bahala na ang importante i can go out safely. i opened the door first then my three room mates followed leaving their laptops on their bed too. slippers and bedsheets scattered around the hallway of the dormitory because the occupants prioritizes their life than anything -leaving everything they have. please pray for us...
