| | |Manila. | | | 30 |1767 II 8 1 5 | VII |Manila and neighboring provinces. Violent | | |earthquake, preceded and followed by | | |numerous shocks of smaller intensity. | | | 31 |1767 XI 13 15 25 | VII |Very violent. In Manila a few walls fell | | |and tile roofs sagged. Slight repetitions | | |marked the succeeding days. Nothing is | | |known of the happenings in the near-by | | |provinces. | | | 32 |1770 XII -- 23 -- |VIII |Destructive earthquake. Mr. Sonnerat | | |states that it wrecked many houses in | | |Manila. This traveler was at the time on | | |board a ship in the very Bay of Manila; | | |hence it is very strange that he does not | | |give the day of the month on which the | | |disaster took place. | | | 33 |1771 II 1 -- -- |VIII |Very severe 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. |
