More Than 12 Earthquakes Rocked Philippines Today (May 22)
EARTHQUAKES – Here is a list of the quakes that hit the Philippines today, May 22.
A lot of earthquakes hit the Philippines daily. In fact, little shaking seems tolerable for people in other places in the country that are frequently visited by quakes.
The reason why PH is usually hit by quakes is its geographical location. It is near the Pacific Ring of Fire thus the movement of the plates can often times be felt.
In PH, the government agency that records details about the earthquakes in the different areas in the country is the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. It is more commonly called as Phivolcs.
