PHIVOLCS recorded 8,403 aftershocks, [3] and within 27 days of the earthquake, 425 aftershocks above M w 4.5 were recorded by the USGS; the aftershock sequence occurred southeast of the mainshock. [2] The largest aftershock, measuring 6.9 struck on December 4, occurring north of the aftershock sequence [9] near Cagwait.
The focal mechanism and depth corresponded to an earthquake of reverse-faulting at an intermediate depth. [5] On the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PEIS), intensity VII ( Destructive) was instrumentally recorded in Glan, Sarangani. [2] Intensity VI was reported in General Santos as well as in Polomolok and Koronadal, South Cotabato. [2] At least 120 aftershocks followed, six of which ...
The PHIVOLCS earthquake intensity scale ( PEIS; Filipino: Panukat ng Pagyanig ng Lindol) [1] is a seismic scale used and developed by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) to measure the intensity of earthquakes . It was developed as upon a specific response to the 1990 Luzon earthquake.
However, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), the 7.2 earthquake may have been caused by a previously undiscovered fault transecting Bohol running east-northeast-west-southwest parallel to the island's northwest coast. [16] [17] This was apparent in the pattern of epicenters of the subsequent aftershocks .

Despite the fact that the epicenter was in Zambales, most of the ...
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology ( PHIVOLCS, Tagalog: [ˈfivolks]; Tagalog: Surian ng Pilipinas sa Bulkanolohiya at Sismolohiya [2]) is a Philippine national institution dedicated to provide information on the activities of volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, as well as other specialized information and services primarily for the protection of life and property and in ...

The earthquake struck near Davao Oriental early on Thursday morning, August 12. PHIVOLCS earlier listed the earthquake as magnitude 7.3 at a depth of 69 kilometers, then revised its advisory to a magnitude 7.2 earthquake, which occurred at a depth of 50 kilometers. It later reverted to its original report of a magnitude 7.3 earthquake. At 6:06 am, PHIVOLCS further revised its report to a ...
