Phivolcs-Davao refutes disinformation shared online
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology-Davao Region (Phivolcs-Davao) has refuted false information circulating on social media claiming that there are five active underwater volcanoes in Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur, which allegedly triggered the magnitude 7.4 earthquake on December 2. The misleading post, shared by thousands of netizens, was debunked by Phivolcs-Davao research specialist Eduardo Lauron, who emphasized the absence of any volcanoes in Hinatuan. He urged the public to rely only on official announcements from reputable sources like Phivolcs, which continuously updates information. Phivolcs clarified that there are only eight active inland volcanoes in Mindanao, none of which are located near Hinatuan. The earthquake was determined to be tectonic in origin with a depth of 26 kilometers, consistent with the region's seismic activity. Phivolcs highlighted the presence of active faults and trenches in the area, contributing to seismic events. This incident underscores the potential impact of disinformation in causing mass hysteria and anxiety. As the affected areas recover from the earthquake, it is crucial for the public to seek information from reliable sources to avoid misinformation and unnecessary alarm......»»

In Bohol, man accused of stalking then killing 25-year-old woman
CEBU CITY, Philippines – A 25-year-old woman was killed by her alleged stalker in Talibon town in Bohol on Friday, October 13, 2023. Police in Talibon Police Station confirmed that a stabbing incident occurred at Purok 4, Brgy. Calituban, Talibon, and claimed the life of a female college graduate. The victim was identified as Rosana Amorin, who is also a resident of the same area. The suspect, Jerald Garcia, is currently under police custody. Amorin sustained a total of eight stab wounds, said Police Corporal Elton Jan Fuentes who is part of the investigating team. Citing their initial findings, Fuentes said Garcia had allegedly been stalking Amorin before committing the crime. A few days prior to her untimely demise, the victim had apparently caught the suspect trailing her. She called out his attention, said Fuentes. Police believed personal grudge as Garcia’s motive in attacking and then killing Amorin. “Basin nauwaw (pagkahuman nasakpan siya nga nagsunod-sunod sa biktima),” Fuentes added. According to investigators, the crime took place around 3:30 a.m. on Friday. The suspect trespassed the Amorins’ residence by accessing the house’s back door, which was unlocked. Garcia, carrying a kitchen knife, went towards the victim’s room where she was sleeping. The victim’s older brother told the police he suddenly woke up after hearing Rosana’s screams. He rushed to her room where he reportedly saw the suspect clutching the knife and the younger Amorin bathed in her own blood. The brother immediately apprehended Garcia, and called the authorities. Neighbors have also heard the commotion and helped the older Amorin bring Garcia to the barangay hall. Rosana was rushed to a nearby hospital but she succumbed to her stab wounds shortly. Fuentes said they will file murder charges against Garcia on Monday, October 16. In the meantime, police continue to verify reports that the suspect had apparently been under the influence of illegal drugs when he committed the crime. Police have also seized the murder weapon from Garcia.
