Philippines: Magnitude-6.0 earthquake occurs in Davao Region at around 14:02 March 7

BY: GAB BATICAN

A magnitude-6.0 earthquake occurred in Davao Region at around 14:02 March 7. The epicenter was about 4 km (2.5 miles) southeast of San Mariano. The tremor occurred at a depth of about 39 km (24 miles), and strong shaking was probably felt near the epicenter in southeastern Davao del Norte, most of Compostela Valley, and southwestern Davao Oriental provinces, with moderate-to-light shaking across the rest of eastern and central Mindanao. There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties as a result of the earthquake; significant damage is unlikely. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Aftershocks are likely over the coming days. An earthquake of magnitude 5.8 occurred only 19 minutes ago 40 km east of Magugpo Poblacion, Philippines, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported. The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10 km beneath the epicenter near Magugpo Poblacion, Davao, Philippines, early afternoon on Tuesday, March 7th, 2023, at 2:02 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report. A second report was later issued by Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), which listed it as a magnitude 5.8 earthquake as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) at magnitude 6.2, France's Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.7, and the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.8. Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage. Moderate shaking probably occurred in San Mariano (pop. 18,700) located 20 km from the epicenter, Compostela (pop. 42,600) 28 km away, and Nabunturan (pop. 16,700) 30 km away. In Magugpo Poblacion (pop. 233,300) located 40 km from the epicenter, New Corella (pop. 20,600) 42 km away, Monkayo (pop. 51,400) 45 km away, Mati (pop. 105,900) 53 km away, and Panabo (pop. 84,700) 55 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking. VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you're in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.

DAVAO! Comelec notes increase in registered voters for BSKE

THE Commission on Elections Davao Region (Comelec-Davao) in Davao City has reported a significant increase in the number of registered voters in the 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE).

Comelec-Davao spokesperson Atty. Gay Enumerables said in an interview with SunStar Davao on May 8, 2023, in 2022, for the month of August, the city had a total of 4,411,035 registered voters. She added that as of March 6, 2023, there is now a total increase of 61,714 registered voters in the city. The increase in registered voters can be attributed to various factors, such as the growing population of the city and the intensified voter registration campaigns of the Comelec. However, she said that there is a notable decrease in SK voters by 11,243. Meanwhile, following the upcoming BSKE, Enumerables said volunteers play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth conduct of the elections. Said volunteers have conducted various initiatives in partnership with Comelec, such as setting up mobile or online registration campaigns in barangays for voter assistance. They have also collaborated with different organizations to encourage eligible voters to register. “As usual yung mga challenges during voter’s registration is yung sa deadline na ng mga tao,” Enumerables said when asked about the usual challenges the Comelec faces during elections. Enumerables also said that they are already going to different schools, primarily senior high schools, to conduct voter’s education for students. “Ang nagko-coordinate sakanila is ang DepEd (Department of Education). So nagbi-visit sila sa mga senior high every Friday. May mga schedules sila, may mga schools na pinupuntahan. So doon, ini- explain ang barangay elections and who are qualified (DepEd is the one coordinating with them. They visit senior high schools every Friday. They have designated schedules and schools to visit. So that’s where they explain barangay elections and who is qualified for them), she said. With the growing number of registered voters in Davao City, Comelec-Davao reminds Davaoenos of their right to vote and encourages them to uphold the integrity of the election process by avoiding unlawful practices such as vote-buying.

2 OFWs repatriated from Sudan arrive in Davao- MAY 9 2023 TWO overseas Filipino workers (OFW) who were affected by the unrest in Sudan have returned to Davao on Friday, May 5. In a report from the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), the two OFWs, who hailed from Tagum City, Davao del Norte, were identified as Silas Jomel Mallari and Hamprey Manipi. According to Mallari, they went through a lot of hardship during their stay in Sudan due to the ongoing air strikes, bombings, and gunshots.

He said that he saw dead bodies left on the road. The nervousness they felt, he added, was intense because they were only three kilometers away from the war zone. Mallari worked as a chef in Sudan for the past eight months. According to OWWA, there are 20 OFWs from Davao Region working in Sudan. In addition to the data are 18 OFWs who have been rescued and are just waiting to return to the country. In April, clashes broke out across Sudan, particularly in the capital city of Khartoum, between the rival camps of Sudan military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces commander Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. This forced the Philippine government to undertake a massive evacuation operation for the hundreds of OFWs in Sudan. Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) Undersecretary Hans Leo Cacdac is currently in Egypt to help oversee the repatriation efforts of the Philippine government.

Village, SK polls deferral to pave way for project implementation

#PHnews: Village, SK polls deferral to pave way for project implementation

MANILA -- Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Martin Andanar on Wednesday welcomed President Rodrigo Duterte's signing of Republic Act (RA) 11462 or the Postponement of the 2020 Barangay (village) and Sangguniang Kabataan (youth council) Elections Act. In a statement, Andanar said postponing the twin polls would make it easier for the incumbent village executives to implement their projects. "We welcome President Duterte’s signing of the Republic Act No. 11462 that postpones the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Elections from May 2020 to December 2022," Andanar said. "We see this undertaking as a necessity, the fact being that project implementations take time to yield their results. This is a way to materialize and put into effect the initiatives and projects being done by all barangay officials," he added. Duterte on Tuesday signed RA 11462, which moves the synchronized village and youth council elections to Dec. 5, 2022. In 2022, there will be two elections -- the presidential elections in May and the twin polls that will be conducted seven months later. During his fourth State of the Nation Address on July 22, Duterte called on lawmakers to defer the village and youth council officials to give village officials more time to finish their programs and projects. The newly-signed law allows incumbent village and youth council officials to stay in office until their successors assume office on Jan.1, 2023. Around PHP5.77 billion has been initially allocated to the Commission on Elections to fund the village and youth council elections originally scheduled on May 11, 2020. Andanar noted that village officials can use the PHP5.77 billion for their proposed reforms in their respective areas. "With this postponement, the government is able to save PHP5.77 billion from election-related expenses, and the said amount can be appropriated towards relevant projects that provide better services and create better lives for Filipinos," he said. "With this, not only will the officials at the grassroots level be able to measure the success of their projects, they can adjust and replicate them as needed for a more substantial period," he added. The PCOO secretary also encouraged the public to report to the national government the possible irregularities that may be committed by incumbent village executives and officials of youth council. "We will continue to monitor complaints being made by any of their respective constituents through the government’s Citizens’ Complaint Hotline 8888 to prevent lapses in government service delivery and to undermine any anomalies or corruption issues," he said.
