Cebu Earthquake,Tsunami scares and the SRP...

With the recent 6.9 intensity earthquake that hit Cebu and Negros Oriental in the morning of Feb. 6, 2012 and an alarming Tsunami alert that was raised and lifted on the very same day, I am pretty sure this will affect the buying decision of any person who might be thinking of acquiring a property in a high-rise development such as the booming condominium development in the city or a property nearby the sea.

But did you know that Cebu City is not included in the list of Earthquake & Tsunami prone areas in the country? Yes you read it right, below are the list of Philippine Fault Zone or Areas, click on the link to see the map.

1. Northern Luzon

2. Central Luzon

3. Infanta

4. Guinayangan

5. Bondoc Peninsula

6. Masbate Island

7. Leyte Island

8. Eastern Mindanao

for the TSUNAMI lists of prone areas, still, Cebu is not on the list but our neighboring province like Bohol, Negros Oriental & Siquijor are. It might have an chain effects if this activity occur but certainly not much of a damage.

The above information shows that Cebu, is still the best options for your future real estate investment, including our very own Citta Di Mare project that houses our first two residential clusters, Amalfi Oasis & San Remo Oasis, though, we can not stop the act of nature from these things to happen, the best way we can do is to educate ourselves and be informed of the subject matter.
