The Philippine foundation of Seismology and Volcanology speed up the quake at 6.9 in magnitude.

* The USGS planned the place of the earthquake at 44 miles North of Dumaguete, Negros; 45 miles northwest of Tagbilaran, Bohol; and 49 miles southwest of Cebu, Cebu. This epicenter is 353 miles south-southeast of the capital of Manila.

These convergent borders produce seismic activity and volcanic activity.

* The quake history of the Philippines consists of a 7.9 magnitude quake that beats the island of Mindanao and was the major magnitude and deadliest quake in recent history in the Philippines in modern history.
