BAGUIO CITY  – Horrible memories of the intensity 7.9 killer earthquake that jolted most parts of Luzon on July 16, 1990 flashed back in the minds of the people after a nearly similar tremblor having a magnitude of 7.3 rocked the Northern Luzon area at around 8:43 am Wednesday, July 27, 2022 living six people dead, hundreds of injured and still undetermined value of government and private properties damaged.

Initially, the quake was said to have its epicenter 2 kilometers southwest of Lagangilang, Abra with a depth of 25 kilometers but latest updates from the Philippine Volcanology and Seismology (PhilVolcs) showed that the quake’s epicenter was said to be at 3 kilometers northwest of Tayum, Abra with a depth of 17 kilometers, tectonic in origin and had a magnitude of 7.

Concerned government agencies and local governments are still assessing the extent of damages inflicted by the earthquake to government and private properties as they are now working double time to provide the appropriate updates to President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. on the real state of the heavily ravaged areas for the appropriate action of the government.

Last Thursday, President Marcos and members of his Cabinet personally visited the province of Abra, Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte to personally oversee the ongoing rapid damage needs assessment and to bring the government’s initial assistance through Social Welfare Secretary Erwin Tulfo.

The President assured local officials and residents of the calamity-stricken areas that the government is on top of the situation and concerned agencies will do their best to provide the affected populace with the appropriate assistance to allow them to recover from the horrifying effects of the tremblor that happened 32 years after the 1990 killer quake.

All the fatalities in the region died after they were buried by landslides and falling rocks in their respective places at the height of the shaking which also temporarily caused the closure of major road networks leading to the different parts of the region.

Also in Tuba, Benguet, a 32-year old laborer who was named as Resty Emperador Tayas, a native of Pugo, La Union, died after he was allegedly hit by a falling rock at sitio Bayacsan, Poblacion while a 46-year old farmer from Sebang, Buguias, Benguet was reported to have died after being allegedly buried by a landslide in their place that was triggered by the movement of the earth during the quake.

In Bangued, Abra, a 23-year old woman who was later identified as Jonalyn Bilon Siganaym a resident of Zone 5, Bangued, died after being hit by debris of a structure in their area during the quake.

In Balbalang, Kalinga, a 24-year old construction worker who was identified as Jefferson Basar, a native of Tandang Sora, Quezon City died after he was hit by a falling rock while working in a rock netting project in the area during the tremblor while a 59-year old man named Andres Sagayo, a native of Paktil, Monamon Sur, Bauko, Mountain Province died after he was buried by a landslide while on his way to attend a wake in their community during the said incident.

The DSWD was able to provide the families of the fatalities with P10,000 each financial assistance aside from the cash assistance that were provided by their respective local governments such as in Benguet, additional P10,000 financial aid and P25,000 burial assistance to the family of the deceased, and P10,000 each cash aid to the 2 injured victims while in Mountain province, P5,000 financial aid.
