earthquake which laid in ruins | | |several buildings in Manila, express | |
|mention being made of the Church of | | |Nuestra Señora de Guia in
Ermita, a suburb | | |of Manila. This is probably the same | | |disturbance
which, according to some | | |writers, in the beginning of February | |
|damaged the church of Antipolo and others | | |in La Laguna and Cavite
Provinces. | | | 34 |1783 IV 19 -- -- | VI |Violent earthquake in Dapitan

d. h. m. | | 36 |1787 VII 13 7 -- | X |Panay Island. A terrible earthquake
which | | |left the whole island strewn with ruins. | | |Of 15 to 20
churches and conventos in | | |Iloilo Province only two or three
remained | | |standing; in the two other provinces, | | |Capiz and Antique,
the destruction was | | |less universal. Even the thick walls of | | |the fort
at Iloilo were breached in many | | |places. There were subsidences in
the | | |plains and landslides in the mountains and | | |mighty fissures
opened. It is stated that | | |the victims were numerous: in one building |
| |15 persons perished. | | | 37 |1796 -- -- -- -- | IX |Many writers assert
that during this year | | |a most violent earthquake shook Manila | | |and
was followed by severe repetitions | | |during the succeeding 20 days.
But, | | |although all agree that the quake was | | |destructive, not one of
them gives | | |precise information as to its effects. | | | 38 |1797 II- -- 14
-- | VII |A violent earthquake but not destructive | III | |in Manila took
place between February 11 | | |and March 7. It fissured walls and ruined
| | |tile roofs. | | | 39 |1811 X 5 -- -- | IX |Destructive earthquake in
Camarines | | |Province. It wrecked many churches, | | |conventos, and
other buildings | | |throughout the province, from San Miguel | | |Bay to
the vicinity of Albay. | | | 40 |1814 II 2 -- -- | VII |Albay. Violent
earthquakes which preceded | | |and accompanied the great eruption of |
| |Mayon Volcano, Province of Albay. Several | | |towns situated on the
slopes of the | | |mountain were destroyed by this outburst, | | |while
others, at a greater distance, | | |suffered less severely. | | | 41 |1818 -- --
-- -- | VII |Dapitan, northwestern Mindanao. Several | | |violent
earthquakes with countless | | |repetitions distributed through 6 months.
| | | 42 |1824 I -- -- -- | VII |Earthquake, violent in Manila and | |
|destructive in Cagayan and Isabela | | |Provinces, northeastern Luzon. |
| | 43 |1824 IX 29 -- -- | IX |Central Luzon. Destructive, making many | |
|ruins throughout the Provinces of Tayabas, | | |Laguna, Rizal, and
Nueva Ecija. The | | |churches of Cavinti and Lukban were | | |destroyed,
that of Antipolo and others | | |badly damaged. | | | 44 |1824 X 26 -- -- |
IX |Destructive in Manila and neighboring | | |provinces. Spoiled the
Bridge of Spain | | |and the barracks in its vicinity, the | | |church of
Saint Francis and others and | | |many private houses. Frightened by the
| | |continual repetitions, people left the | | |city to live in nipa houses
and under | | |tents. The undulations seemed to come | | |from
north-northwest. | | | 45 |1828 XI 9 18 30 |VIII |Destructive earthquake.
Damaged several | | |churches in Manila, likewise the prison | | |and
many private residences. The shocks | | |appeared to advance from
south to north. | | | 46 |1830 I 18 17 -- | IX |Southern Luzon. Destructive
in the | | |Provinces of Rizal, Laguna, and Tayabas. | | |In Manila the
damage was confined to the | | |cracking of walls and the falling of such
| | |as had little power of resistance; but | | |toward Laguna and Tayabas
the destruction | | |was greater; the complete destruction of | | |the
church and convento of Mauban
