UPDATE (As of 10 PM):
* A magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck off the coast of Davao Oriental at 9:43 AM, Friday, October 10
* Later that day, at 7:12 PM, another magnitude 6.9 earthquake hit the same area
* As of 8:30 PM, at least 476 aftershocks have been recorded since the doublet earthquakes
* 14 aftershocks were strong enough to be felt by residents
* PHIVOLCS noted that due to the proximity of the 7.4 and 6.8 magnitude quakes, it’s difficult to distinguish which aftershocks belong to which event

Phivolcs Warns vs. Strong Aftershocks Following 7.4 Davao Quake

The public is asked to be prepared for strong aftershocks after the magnitude 7.4 offshore earthquake that struck Davao Oriental, Friday morning.

Fortunately, due to the quake being offshore, no major damage or destructive tsunami has been reported.

Phivolcs reminds everyone to practice "duck, cover, and hold" and immediately evacuate structurally compromised buildings.

Here’s what you need to know:
• The strongest possible aftershock is magnitude 6.4
• The quake was generated by the Philippine Trench
• The quake has no connection with recent strong earthquakes (like the one in Cebu on Sept. 30)
• Airports remain fully operational, with only minor cracks observed in the logistics building of Dipolog Airport
• Two flights bound for Davao were diverted (one to Cebu and one to General Santos)

Severe Tropical Storm Opong Accelerates, Makes Second Landfall

‘Opong (International name Bualoi) accelerates and slightly weakens after it makes second landfall. But strong winds, heavy rainfall, and life-threatening storm surges still pose significant threats across a large part of the country, particularly in Southern Luzon and the Visayas.

The storm's widespread cloud band and accelerated movement mean that even areas not directly in the path of the eye, including Metro Manila, should expect considerable impacts.

As of 7 A.M., PAGASA reports ‘Opong’ has slightly weakened to a Severe Tropical Storm after making its second landfall over Palanas, Masbate at 5:30 A.M., after an earlier landfall in Milagros, Masbate.
Its center was located over the coastal waters of Mandaon, Masbate with maximum sustained winds of 110 km/h near the center. It is moving west-northwestward at an accelerated speed of 30 km/h.

‘Opong’ is expected to continue tracking west-northwestward and maintain its Severe Tropical Storm strength as it traverses the central provinces and is forecast to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Saturday afternoon and has a chance to re-intensify into a Typhoon category once over the open waters of the West Philippine Sea.

Residents are strongly advised to remain vigilant, monitor the succeeding weather updates, and heed the warnings of local disaster risk reduction and management offices.

This is a developing story.

A Success 20 Years in The Making: Jessica Sanchez Wins America’s Got Talent Season 20

The journey of Fil-AM singer Jessica Sanchez in ‘America’s Got Talent’ has gone full circle, as she was named the champion of the talent show’s 20th season.

Sanchez, 30, first appeared on AGT’s inaugural season in 2006 at just 11 years old, reaching the semifinals before gaining worldwide recognition on American Idol in 2012, where she finished second to Phillip Phillips.

Her long-awaited AGT triumph came with a $1 million prize and a rare distinction as the first contestant from the show’s earliest season to return and win nearly two decades later.

Performing while nine months pregnant, Sanchez captivated audiences with emotional renditions, including Alex Warren’s “Ordinary” and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile.” Her finale win capped a career that has included a Billboard-charting debut album, a guest role on Glee, and international tours.

For Sanchez, whose roots trace to Bataan in the Philippines and Mexico through her parents, the victory was a landmark in talent show history, proof of resilience, reinvention, and enduring artistry.

STS Opong Places More Areas Under Signal No. 2

More parts of Luzon and the Visayas are placed under Signal No. 2 on Thursday as Severe Tropical Storm Opong (international name Bualoi) continues to move closer to Eastern Visayas and Southern Luzon.

In its 8 a.m. advisory, PAGASA says the storm is expected to bring widespread rains and strong winds as it intensifies further. ‘Opong’ is forecast to dump heavy to intense rains over Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, Sorsogon, Masbate, Samar, and Biliran.

Moderate to heavy rains may also affect Catanduanes, Leyte, Southern Leyte, and Dinagat Islands, while the southwest monsoon (habagat), enhanced by the storm, will bring additional downpours to Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro.

PAGASA warns of strong to gale-force winds across many parts of the country, with coastal communities facing a moderate to high risk of storm surges up to three meters within 36 hours.

The storm is projected to intensify into a typhoon before either passing close to Northern Samar or making landfall in the Bicol Region by Friday morning or early afternoon. ‘Opong’ is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) by Saturday.
