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.
