    Quake in Cebu Philippines 2-06-2012 - significant damage 539w10


    Dead : 22 (12-Guihulngan; 4-Jimalalud; 3-Tayasan; 1-Bindoy; 1-Bais; 1-Ayungon) Injured : 52 (12 – Jimalalud; 40 – Guihulngan) Missing : 71 (29-Brgy. Planas, Guihulngan; 42-Brgy. Solonggon, La libertad)

    Update 07/02 – 12:01 UTC :
    Tibyawan, Ayungon, Negros Oriental : I just got a report from people living in Tibyawan that the majority of the homes have completely collapsed, and that many of the families their currently have no access to food or water because of the roads being damaged.

    Update 07/02 – 06:46 UTC :
    - The official death toll is at 15, with 71 missing currently.
    From the 71 missing, 29 are located in Planas and Guihulngan, and 42 in the Provinces of Solonggon and La Libertad.
    - Guihulngan City (pop. 100,000) has been the hardest hit with a total loss of power and water supply.
    - It can be seen that the landslides have caused the most fatalities with over 75 people either missing or killed as a result.
    - Negros Oriental (pop. 1.2 million) has suspended all work and classes currently.
    - 52 people have been hospitalised with many more injured in addition.
    - This is of course CATDAT Red.
    - We will be releasing a death toll list of family members on a separate page in the coming hours.
    Update 07/02 – 06:46 UTC : The official death toll is at 15, with 71 missing currently. From the 71 missing, 29 are located in Planas and Guihulngan, and 42 in the Provinces of Solonggon and La Libertad. Guihulngan City (pop. 100,000) has been the hardest hit with a total loss of power and water supply.



    Update 15:00 UTC : Military sources have reported that 43 people have been killed. 29 people were killed by landslides and at least 10 by collapsed buildings. This toll will probably get higher the following hours. 40 people are at least missing and 100 injured. Many buildings damaged or destroyed, at least 9 bridges damaged and some landslides occurred in Negros Oriental. (various sources)

    Update 17:32 UTC : Guihulngan City looks to be the hardest hit of all towns. Many houses have collapsed, the water supply system is totally damaged and Electric facilities are down. This maybe suprising as the epicenter was located in between Tayasan and Jimamalud. Guihulngan City is at least 30 km from the Phivolcs located epicenter.

    Update 17:00 UTC : The following official Incident table published just after midnight gives an indication of the most damaging factors of this earthquake. Tsunami waves have at least damaged some houses and a retreating sea (an indication that a tsunami may be arriving) was also reported. Landslides have killed numerous (a phenomenon that also happens in the Philippines after storms and heavy rainfall). The numbers given here are solid official numbers from the government. The numbers mentioned in our article are derived from many to be trusted sources.

    MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Rescuers digging for survivors among dozens of people buried by earthquake-triggered landslides on a central Philippine island have found only bodies. The death toll climbed to 15 on Tuesday, and at least 73 people were still missing.

    Monday's 6.9-magnitude earthquake also collapsed bridges and damaged roads on Negros Island, forcing soldiers and firefighters to hike mountains to reach remote villages. Most of the confirmed deaths were in Planas village, a part of Guihulngan town where some 30 houses were buried under concrete debris.

    Guihulngan Mayor Ernesto Reyes said crews were using backhoes to try to rescue people, but he added that at the rate deaths were being reported, the town may run out of coffins.

    The damage may be worse than officials realized because the quake cut off communications to some villages, Reyes said.

    "We have no water and power because electric posts were toppled," he told The Associated Press by phone. "Many of our roads were damaged, including bridges, and stores are closed. We're isolated."

    Another hard-hit area was the mountain village of Solongon in La Libertad town, where an unknown number of people were trapped under some 100 houses.

    President Benigno Aquino III ordered air force helicopters and navy and coast guard vessels to come to aid of rescuers, some of whom were digging with picks and shovels to look for survivors.

    Workers were clearing and fixing and bridges leading up from the coast to mountains so heavy equipment, food and medicine could flow to the worst-hit villages.

    Monday's quake was caused by movement in an undersea fault 44 miles (72 kilometers) north of Dumaguete, capital of Negros Oriental province, and about 400 miles (650 kilometers) southeast of the nation's capital, Manila. It hit at a depth of 29 miles (46 kilometers).

    Negros Oriental police chief Senior Superintendent Edward Carranza said at least 73 people remained missing in the province.

    The casualties could top a 2004 quake on Mindoro Island, south of Manila, where 78 people died, about half of them in a quake-triggered tsunami. A local tsunami alert was issued following Monday's temblor but was soon canceled.

    The Philippines is in the Pacific "Ring of Fire" where earthquakes and volcanic activity are common. The damage and casualties are compounded by shoddy construction in the impoverished nation. A 7.7-magnitude quake killed nearly 2,000 people in northern Luzon in 1990.
