According to U.S. Geological Survey, 
6.4 M quake in eastern California, southwest of Searles Valley,
occurred as the result of shallow strike slip faulting
in the crust of the North America plate. 
This was followed by numerous aftershocks,
the largest of which was a 4.7 M quake 2 minutes after. 
But about an hour before, 
there were smaller quakes (foreshocks) 
including a 4.0 M one 30 minutes before.

According to USGS, 
a large quake with a preliminary magnitude of 8 
struck 75km SSE of Lagunas, Peru on Sunday May 26, 2019 
at 07:41:14 (UTC)  
and at a depth of 109.9 km. 
There are no immediate reports of damage or casualties. 
​
More on this as people post on social media 
​about the great quake.
Peru lies on the Pacific’s so-called Ring of Fire.

At long last, 
after several weeks of no rain at all in Cebu City, 
the rain has come in significant amount. 
It's like a breath of fresh air 
having gone through hot and uncomfortable weather 
for the past months of March and April 2019. 
Now the ground is finally wet 
and this rain may help add water to the dried-up dams. 
Water has been rationed, 
giving water to some areas while shutting down a lot more. 
And this marked my 1st time experiencing no water 
for more than 20 hours in Englis, V. Rama, Cebu City 
in decades. 
And no water during the day and only at night 
and a lot of times only in the early morning for few hours. 
And I had to open the faucet all the time 
so I could hear the water when it comes. 
No water schedule posted whatsoever 
and a lot of times we had to wake up
​in the wee hours of the morning 
just to save water in large containers. 
People everywhere were buying large containers to store water. 
But still very thankful about my situation 
unlike in many places in the city 
when there's no water for several days 
that they have to be delivered by firetrucks 
and distributed to the community. Very sad. 

The booming city of Cebu, Philippines 
is one big and welcoming news for everyone, 
but the water shortage makes you wanna live somewhere else 
especially when you never experienced such thing before. 

An Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) 
appeared during a storm 
as revealed through a CCTV footage at a town beach.

The Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte 
was rumored that he passed away already. 
And this was his response on video. 
​
Oh God forbid it! Give him more years to live.

Violence erupted which were related to the
​BOL (Bangsamoro Organic Law) Plebiscite 
in Mindanao, Philippines. 
No progress and prosperity in this region 
when things like these happen. 
It will not be a safe place for investors and businesses. 
Hoping for unity and peace not just in Mindanao, 
but for the entire Philippines. ​

The Black Nazarene or Poong Itim Na Nazareno
is a life-size, dark-skinned image 
of a kneeling Jesus Christ carrying the Cross 
who is enshrined in the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene
in Quiapo, Manila, Philippines since 1787.
It arrived in the Philippines from Mexico in 1606. 
It is considered by many Catholics to be miraculous,
curing diseases by a mere touch.
