Latter-day Saints Affected After Second Major Earthquake in Philippines
After Mindanao's magnitude 7.4 quake on Oct. 10, local Church leaders in the Philippines opened meetinghouses as shelters and provided food and water to affected families.
A strong tremor struck the southern Philippines, off the coast of Manay, Davao Oriental, in Mindanao, just over a week after a powerful earthquake devastated Cebu and nearby provinces.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology recorded the quake at magnitude 7.4, followed by nearly 300 aftershocks, the strongest reaching 5.8.
Area leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints confirmed that all full-time missionaries serving in Mindanao are safe and accounted for.
Three missionary apartments sustained cracks during the high-magnitude tremors but were cleared for continued use after inspection.
No statement from the church.
