After Haiti, after Chile, now in the Philippines, an earthquake that lasted more than 30 seconds happened just a while ago. I was here on my desk during the earthquake, typing codes on my program when suddenly I felt like everything is swaying. Then, my colleague shout, "Lumilindol ba?. I answered him, "Lumilindol nga!". And I look at the clock and start to count the seconds while it's shaking. It lasted more than 30 seconds. When it stopped, I was relieved and sigh "Thanks God...". I hope everyone is alright after that unexpected event. 

Anyway, here are the details of the earthquake:
