Las autoridades descartan alerta de tsunami. Causó la caída de techos de centros comerciales y el pánico de compradores. MANILA Un fuerte terremoto submarino sacudió el sur de Filipinas el viernes, causando la caída de techos de centros comerciales y el pánico de compradores. Las autoridades no han activado la alerta de tsunami. La Oficina de Defensa Civil indicó que investiga el reporte de una muerte. El terremoto de magnitud 6,7 se produjo a 26 kilómetros (16 millas) de Burias, en el extremo sur de Filipinas, informó el Servicio Geológico de Estados Unidos. Estaba centrado a una profundidad de 78 kilómetros (48 millas), señaló. Videos publicados en las redes sociales mostraban techos cayendo en dos grandes centros comerciales mientras los pilares se balanceaban y la gente se encogía y gritaba de miedo. El centro comercial SM City General Santos y el centro comercial Robinsons GenSan anunciaron cierres temporales. En ninguno de los dos hubo reportes de heridos. El palacio presidencial señaló que el presidente Ferdinand Marcos Jr. dio instrucciones a las agencias gubernamentales para garantizar la seguridad y el bienestar de todos los afectados por el sismo. Filipinas experimenta terremotos y erupciones volcánicas con regularidad debido a su ubicación en el “Anillo de Fuego” del Pacífico, un arco de fallas sísmicas alrededor del océano.

I didn’t realize that today is the anniversary of AUB Gensan Santiago Branch — the first branch I headed 16 years ago. Nostalgia suddenly hit me. Today, I honor every individual who shared my AUB journey. We’ve come a long way, my fellow AUBankers. The Branch Managers who came after me were all my Sales Officers — Cheng Zarzoso (who is now based in New Zealand), Paulo Mariano (presently Area Head of Northern Mindanao) and now Stephanie Allera. My first Service Manager and assistant was Rey Sumalde who later became Branch Head of Gensan Aparente Branch and presently a Quality Assurance Officer. He was replaced by Daisy Reyes followed by the present SM Roger Melanio. Roger will be celebrating his 10th year as an AUBanker this year. Of the six original members of Team Gensan, only Rey and myself remain. I share this sense of pride with the following individuals who became a part of AUB Gensan Santiago Branch: Dave Arreglado Leah Cunanan Delfin Irving Dwight Destajo Manuel Aspera Jr. Gwyn Clarisa Jenel Go Labiana Steven Yang Alexis Cañizar Chua Hannah Anika Bentham Jeremy Shawee Agreda Abi Santos Romarie Ivy C. Tan Christine Padilla Chino Gadia Ernan Escalada Buncalan Chester Teves Lloyd R. Giron Dinah M.

No major damage recorded in GenSan after magnitude 6.2 quake

#PHnews: No major damage recorded in GenSan after magnitude 6.2 quake

GENERAL SANTOS CITY – No major structural damage was recorded in government and private buildings here following the magnitude 6.2 earthquake that jolted the area and neighboring localities Wednesday morning.

Engr. Emerald Signar, head of the City Engineer’s Office (CEO), said the overall structural integrity of the main city hall building and other structures within the local government center remained intact although some minor cracks were found.

He said their rapid assessment team specifically noticed new cracks at a portion of the walls of the city mayor’s office conference room.

These were in the same spot where visible cracks emerged following the series of earthquakes in the area last year and already underwent recent repairs through epoxy injection, he said.

Signar said several cracks at the masonry wall of the mayor’s office affected the installed tiles.

“That quake was quite strong at magnitude 6.2 and its epicenter was close to the city but it did not result in any major damage,” he told reporters.

The CEO conducted a rapid damage assessment on all local government structures based on a directive from City Mayor Ronnel Rivera.

Among those assessed were the main city hall building, oval plaza covered court, city gymnasium, city terminal, central public market, and the city hospital.

Work at the city hall building and other local government facilities was temporarily suspended by the mayor from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. to pave the way for the mandatory assessment of all existing structures.

The epicenter of the quake, which hit the area at 7:21 a.m., was traced at a portion of the seas southeast of Sarangani town in Davao Occidental.

No one was reported hurt as a result of the temblor, which was felt at Intensity 5 in this city and Intensity 4 in parts of Sarangani, South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, and Maguindanao provinces.

A report from the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office said the quake caused the cladding of the aluminum composite panel attached to the sidewall of the SM Mall to give way.

But it said the mall’s main structure did not incur any major damage and its operations remained normal.

In Sarangani province, Alabel Mayor Vic Paul Salarda said minor cracks were found on some of the buildings of the Alabel National High School. (PNA)

Snoe Awesome Poresome Microdermabrasion Retexturizing Polish Review

According to healthline.com, microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions.

Just like this product that I'm about to introduce to you. This one is my holy grail and my skincare routine will never be complete without it. Introducing Snoe's best-selling collection, the Snoe Awesome Poresome Microdermabrasion Retexturizing Polish.
