Recent earthquakes in the Philippines have caused public concern. Two major earthquakes occurred within 24 hours, prompting a tsunami warning.

The first earthquake measured 7.8, followed by a second one at 6.8, leading people to flee to the streets. The government has urged those living in coastal areas to move to higher ground.

The Philippines is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire and experiences over 800 earthquakes annually. Therefore, tsunami warnings are critically important.

Authorities have indicated that tsunami waves could rise to 1 to 3 meters. This poses a significant threat to those living in coastal regions.

The government has mobilized all emergency response teams and warned the public to be cautious. Damage reports are starting to come in following the earthquakes.
