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. | | | |
