Today, Hinunangan is jolted by a series of earthquakes starting this morning. Up to the time of writing this post (5:44PM local time), I have recorded 15 earthquakes. I just don’t know what the magnitudes of these earthquakes are because I don’t use any apparatus in sensing the earthquakes but just my own body’s senses.

The strongest of them is the one that shook us at 2:45PM.

I checked the data recorded by the DOST, and got this info of the earthquakes that happened today:
