VP Duterte calls for calm after Mindanao quake

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 18) — Vice President Sara Duterte called for calm after a magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck Sarangani, Davao Occidental on Friday.

Ako man ay nakaranas din ng malalakas na lindol noong ako ay alkalde ng Davao at meron itong dala na trauma,” she said in a video posted on Facebook. “Kinakailangan natin maging kalmado, at unahin ang pagcheck ng ating mga bahay at gusali para paghanda sa aftershocks.”

[Translation: I myself experienced strong earthquakes when I was Davao City mayor and it’s traumatizing. We need to stay calm. Check your homes and buildings to prepare for aftershocks.]
