<p>Sa pakighinabi sa radyo, gibutyag ni Director Edgardo Olet, chief of operations sa NDRRMC nga base sa iyang obserbasyon, angay likayan ang nahitabong linog nga mitay-og sa kabisay-an niadtong Lunes diin daghan ang nag-panic sa mga ospital ug halos mag- stampede ang mga katawhan sa mall sa dihang nagukdanay pagkanaug sa escalator.</p>
<p>Angay usab nga matodluan ang mga kawani sa ospital kun unsaon pagpagawas sa mga pasyente ug angay magbaton og tamdanan kun unsaon pagpagawas sa mga pasyenteng naka-confine sa intensive care unit (ICU).</p>
<p>Matud pa ni Olet nga girekomendar usab sa pulong sa NDRMMC nga matodluan ang mga naa sa jail facility o bilangguan sa tibuok nasud aron malikayan ang pagka-angol o pag-ikyas kun adunay moigo nga linog.</p>
<p>Gitakdang ipahigayon ang simultaneous national earthquake drill sa Marso 1, diin kusganong gisugyot sa NDRMMC ang tanan nga angay kining seryosohon. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, Feb. 9 (PIA)&#8211;Dili angay mokumpiyansa ang mga residente nga nagpuyo layo sa mga fault line sa nasud.</p>
<p>Kini matud pa ni Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) Director Renato Solidum sa usa ka radio interview.</p>
<p>Pasabot ni Solidum, bisan ang mga lugar nga layo sa fault line mahimo pa gihapon maigo sa linog.</p>
<p>Niadtong tuig 1990, naigo sa magnitude 5.0 nga linog ang Baguio City diin gatosan ang nangamatay bisan layo kini sa epicenter sa linog nga naa sa Nueva Ecija.</p>
<p>Bisan ang nahitabo sa Legaspi City sa Albay niining Pebrero 6 lamang nga adunay natalang intensity 3 nga aftershock bisan layo na kini sa Negros Oriental.</p>
<p>Matud pa ni Solidum, normal kini nga sitwasyon tungod kay apektado ang tanang plates sa yuta kun adunay dakung pagtay-og bisan dili duol ang mga lugar.</p>
<p>Gi-aghat usab ni Solidum ang gobyerno sa pagpangandam sa bisan unsang matang sa kalamidad ilabi na sa linog tungod kay walay nakahibalo o makatag-an sa pag-abot niini.</p>
<p>Gipasabot sa Phivolcs nga wala sila nanghadlok sa katawhan apan gusto lamang nila nga andam kanunay ang tanan sa tanang panahon. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PRESIDENT Benigno S. Aquino III cited the members of the Chinese Filipino Business Club, Incorporated (CFBCI) for being invaluable partners with government in nation building.</p>
<p>In his speech keynoting the CFBCI’s 7th Biennial Convention on Thursday at the Manilia Hotel, the President said the group’s unwavering compassion and continued engagement to help in government efforts to improve the lives of the people was key to the success of this endeavor.</p>
<p>“Your organization (CFBCI) is among those who did not waver in their resolve to help this country. Ever since your establishment in 1998, you have been doing what you can to support this nation,” the President said.</p>
<p>He noted that the group’s aid was as far-reaching and diverse as to help improve the Philippine National Police’s mandate to protect the people through the CFCBI’s donation of thirty motorcycles that will “help us strengthen our police force’s law enforcement capabilities” to providing services to the community that help in economic development.</p>
<p>“The Chinese-Filipino Business Club, Inc., or the CFBCI, has also been very helpful on the economic front, supporting the government in its efforts to create jobs and strengthen the economy. You have actively undertaken trade missions and tax consciousness campaigns, among other projects,” the President said.</p>
<p>He thanked CFBCI for being “responsible corporate citizens” in spearheading talks with government officials about projects such as drug consciousness campaigns, and book drives for the less fortunate.</p>
<p>“For this, I extend my gratitude to all the members and the board of the CFBCI. Your members are some of the most successful businessmen in the country, and you could have simply focused your efforts on turning in even larger profit margins for your companies, but instead you’re here, intent on giving back to the community,” the President said.</p>
<p>“These initiatives of yours can only be good for your businesses. After all, a good community is vital to fostering a good business environment,” he added. (PCOO)</p>
