Earthquake Shook Mindoro and Batangas, May 23

I had a hard time sleeping last night. Time check, 12:30am. A few minutes after, my bed shook. There’s an earthquake at 12:42am, May 23, Monday.

According to PHILVOLCS, a magnitude 5.7 earthquake hit Occidental Mindoro with epicenter in Mamburao. Intensity IV was felt in Ilijan, Batangas. The earthquake was also felt in some other parts of Luzon, reaching as far as Malolos, Bulacan and Clark, Pampanga.

Then at 3:08am earlier, another earthquake shook the country, this time hitting Mindanao, epicenter is at General Santos City.

On Saturday evening, a 5.5 magnitude earthquake hit Ilagan, Isabela. Yes, the night when the alleged end of the world was scheduled. Oh, pointless argument here. It’s May 23, and that ridiculous prediction did not occur.
