page 11 of 67 (16%)
5 |1608 XII 3 -- -- | VI-|Leyte Island. Violent chiefly in the
| | VII |country around Dulag and Palo (E coast of
| | |northern Leyte). It does not appear to
| | |have been destructive.
| | |
6 |1610 XI -- -- -- | IX |Manila and provinces east of it. Several
| | |writers call it a "terrible earthquake
| | |which progressed from E to W."
| | |
7 |1620 -- -- -- -- | IX |Panay Island. Great convulsions of the
| | |ground; the Aclan River changed its
| | |course. The few stone buildings in the
| | |affected districts, as, for instance, the
| | |church at Passi, Province of Iloilo, were
| | |badly cracked, the wooden structures
| | |either fell, owing to the snapping of the
| | |uprights, or remained inclined in various
| | |directions. The provinces which suffered
| | |most were those of Iloilo and Capiz.
| | |
8 |1627 VIII -- -- -- | X |Northern Luzon. The historians mention it
| | |as one of the earthquakes which caused the
| | |greatest convulsions in northern Luzon,
| | |especially in Ilocos Norte and Cagayan,
| | |but above all in the region of the Central
| | |Central Cordillera, Lepanto, and Bontoc.
| | |The data are somewhat vague. It is said
| | |that part of the northern Caraballo
| | |Mountains subsided.
