00:00We will continue our conversation with PBOX Director Taracito Bacolcol. Director Bacolcol, good morning.

00:09Yes sir. Good morning to you as well.

00:11Are these two landfills similar?

00:14No. These two landfills are different. Their generators are different.

00:20In Sambuanga del Norte, most likely the generator would be the Sulu Trench because it's deep and it can reach up to 43 kilometers.

00:28In Southern Leyte, the generator would be an offshore active fault west of Panaon Island.

00:34They are not connected. None of them are connected.

00:38It just so happened that we had a strong earthquake yesterday morning.

00:45But is it right for them to be connected?

00:49Yes. Again, we have 175 active fault segments and we have 6 trenches.

00:55There is always this possibility that two or three active faults will move at the same time even if they are far away.

01:05How about the aftershocks Director?

01:10For the magnitude 5.8 earthquake in Southern Leyte as of 4 a.m., we recorded 156 aftershocks.

01:19The magnitude range would be from magnitude 1.5 to 2.9.

01:25None of those were felt. We only recorded the instruments.

01:30In Sambuanga del Norte, the magnitude 5.4 yesterday, as of 4 a.m., we recorded 21 aftershocks.

01:40The magnitude range would be from magnitude 1.8 to 2.2.

01:46Our earthquake drill, Director, because here in Sambuanga City, our students had a panic attack.

01:55Even though we cannot predict the aftermath, how can they prepare for this?

02:01Again, here we can see the importance of participating in earthquake drills.

02:08We really have to participate in earthquake drills.

02:15If there are earthquakes, our actions would come out naturally, this habit forming, and it builds muscle memory.

02:25Again, if there are earthquakes, we stay calm.

02:31If we are inside the house or in the house, we do the drop, cover and hold.

02:37If we are outside, we go to an open area, away from houses, houses, houses and trees.

02:46After the drill, we follow the evacuation instructions if necessary.

02:51We listen to official warnings from LGUs and advisories from our office.

03:03First is safety before taking a selfie, right Director?

03:06You're right.

03:08Thank you very much.

03:09Feedback from Director Teresito Bacolcol. Be careful.

03:11Thank you very much.
