The PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale
explains an Intensity VII quake as "destructive," possibly inflicting
considerable damage on old or poorly-built structures and possible
slight damage to even well-built structures. There is also the danger of
some liquefaction and landslides.
around the epicenter of the quake in Wao, Lanao del Sur, at least 30 houses and other public structures were damaged, and power was cut off.
