PHIVOLCS Warns People About False Earthquake Info On Social Media!
Loading...
According to
PHIVOLCS Director Renato Solidum, "Ang mga nangyayaring haka-haka sa
social media ay imbes na nakakatulong ay nakakasama pa... Kung social media
lang po ang source n'yo ay 'wag n'yo pong paniwalaan agad 'yan."
He also issued
the warning regarding the posts circulating on social media, including a fake PHIVOLCS
Facebook page, which has allegedly predicted the so-called “Big-One,” or a
possible magnitude 7.2 earthquake that may hit Metro Manila.
Meanwhile, PHIVOLCS
said, “What we do is prepare earthquake scenarios of hazards and impacts to be
used as guide for mitigation, preparedness and response.”
They also added,
“Hindi po totoo yan. Hindi nahuhulaan kailan darating ang earthquake lalo na
kung gaano kalakas. Phivolcs lang po tayo maniwala (It's not true. We cannot
predict when an earthquake strikes and how strong it is. Just believe in
Phivolcs). Anyway there is no harm to be prepared. Yan nagpakalat ng balita yan
(The one who spread the news) is an irresponsible person because it will create
panic to our people.”
Make sure that
the source is legit before you post or share something on your social media account.
