The powerful earthquake that struck the town of Lemery, Batangas on Tuesday has damaged some houses and road infrastructures.
The 4.1 magnitude earthquake has caused fear among the residents.
Ivan Gabriel Mendoza Manalo, 19, has documented the aftermath of the temblor in Brgy. Sinisian East, Lemery Batangas.
Some houses were torn and might no longer be inhabited.
He told The Filipino Times, “Nung pagkatapos po ng malakas na pagyanig, nag iko-ikot po kami nga mga kasama ko at ng mga konsehal ng aming barangay para tingnan ang naging sitwasyon ng mga kabahayan sa aming lugar,” Ivan said.
“Mas lalong lumaki yung bitak ngayon kung ikukumpara ito kahapon, ito po ay dahil sa malakas na paglindol,” he said
“Kasi parang guhit lang po yung bitak nung nakaraang araw pero ngayon po na nagkaroon ng malalakas na paglindol mas lalong lumaki yung bitak na sinasabing fault line,” he added.
“Kapag nakatayo po..bigla pong na a-out balance. sa sobrang lakas po may time po na mapi-feel nyo po na para Kang nasa duyan po” Ivan described the earthquake.
The residents spend the night in an evacuation center in Balayan West Central School.
