    If you go here ( Mapcentral - Philippine Map Online ) and zoom out, then work your way down the Map to Negros, you can then zoom right in and can see all of the Barangay Outlines for Negros Oriental as well as all other Islands in the Philippines;

    I passed the article on to my brother in law, a geophysicist. He thinks the professor at Siliman is correct.
    Apparently magma moves around all the time.
    These earthquakes could become very interesting or maybe not.

    What causes it could be similar to what causes the blue lagoon in Iceland. You could do the water glass test to confirm.

    Blue Lagoon Geothermal Water | Blue Lagoon Iceland

    WHY IS IT BLUE?
    The geothermal water has a unique composition, featuring three active ingredients – Silica, Algae & Minerals.

    The blue colour comes from the silica and the way it reflects sunlight. During summer there can also be a hint of green in the water. This is the result of the algae, which multiplies quickly when exposed to direct sunlight.

    However, and this might come as a surprise to you, the water is actually white. If you pour it into a transparent cup, it will always have a milky white colour. The sun simply makes it look blue!

    I don't think they are mistakes. Earthquake triangulation takes time. Instead of correcting "mistake" I would say they are fine tuning their triangulation.

    MANILA — Negros Oriental may experience an earthquake stronger than those that have been striking the province lately, particularly on the province’s southern portion, state geologists have warned.

    “A potentially active fault there might generate such earthquake,” science research assistant Tom Simborio of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Friday.

    Simborio said Phivolcs is monitoring the area, as the series of minor earthquakes there in the past week indicates possible activity or movement of the still-unnamed fault.

    He, however, urged the public to keep calm and prepare for any eventuality.

    “Communities concerned must prepare accordingly and avoid panicking,” he said. “Knowing how to duck, cover, and hold, as well as assembling emergency kits, are among earthquake preparations people must do.”

    Phivolcs data show a magnitude 3.1 earthquake at struck at 5:46 p.m. on Thursday, 10 kilometers southwest of Valencia, the municipality that’s also called Luzurriaga and located in Negros Oriental’s south-lying third district.

    The earthquake was felt at intensity 3 in Bacong and Valencia towns and at intensity 2 in Dumaguete City and Dauin town.

    Another unfelt magnitude 2.3 earthquake occurred later at 8:47 p.m. Thursday, striking 17 km southwest of Valencia.

    On Friday, February 2, three more unfelt magnitude 2.3 earthquakes southwest of Valencia followed at 1:10 a.m., 2:27 a.m., and 4:27 a.m., Phivolcs continued.

    Another magnitude 1.8 earthquake took place at 2.36 a.m. Friday four km southwest of Zamboaguita town, also in Negros Oriental’s third district, the province’s southern portion.

    Then again, a magnitude 2.7 earthquake occurred at 5:19 a.m. Friday 15 km southwest of Valencia.

    Phivolcs is not expecting aftershocks and damages from the earthquakes.

    But Simborio said Phivolcs is monitoring the flow of seismic activities in southern Negros Oriental, particularly since successive earthquakes also hit the Zamboanguita-Dauin area the previous week.

    “Such earthquakes might be related to the successive ones that mainly struck Valencia this week,” he said.
