On 6 February 2012 (Monday), a 6.9-magnitude quake [Philvocs; USGS 6.7] hit the city of Guiholngan, leaving a spate of destruction on properties, at least 45 people confirmed dead, and still 92 more missing.
Deaths and missing people are also reported in the towns of La Libertad.
Roads coming in and going out of Guiholngan are badly damaged rendering the city inaccessible through the lands, causing problems in potable water supplies, fuel, and food. Relief goods can only be flown in or through the sea.
Aftershock
Post-quack tremors around noon caused panic in Central Visayas particularly the city of Cebu as false reports on a tsunami happening circulated an hour or two later.
