“Walang namamatay sa lindol [Nobody dies from earthquake],” says Jeffrey S. Perez, a geologist from Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.
“Namamatay kapag nabagsakan ng mga gamit sa bahay. Kaya dapat, ngayon pa lang, i-check nyo na ang mga bahay nyo kung ano ang maaaring makaapekto sa inyo. [People die when they get hit by falling objects. That is why as early as now, check the things in your house that might affect you].”
