10 |1636 XII 21 -- -- | IX |Western Mindanao. Destructive earthquake.
| | |The epicenter appears to have been in
| | |Illana Bay. Great landslides are reported
| | |to have occurred at Point Flechas which is
| | |between the Bays of Illana and Sibuguey.
| | |
11 |1641 I 4 -- -- | X |Northern Luzon. Destructive earthquake,
| | |accompanied by great landslides in the
| | |mountains and eruptions of water and mud
| | |in the region of northern Luzon which
| | |comprises the Provinces of the Ilocos, of
| | |Cagayan, and the Cordillera Central. All
| | |the historians of the Archipelago mention
| | |this cataclysm which occurred shortly
| | |after the almost simultaneous eruptions of
| | |Sanguir and Jolo.
| | |
12 |1645 XI 30 20 -- | X |The most terrible earthquake recorded in
| | |the annals of the Archipelago. It might
| | |almost be said that from Manila to Cagayan
| | |and Ilocos Norte it left no stone upon the
| | |other. In the capital, where during the
| | |preceding fifty years a great number of
| | |stone buildings had been erected,
| | |magnificent churches, palaces, and public
| | |buildings, as well as private residences
| | |and villas, the destruction was frightful.
| | |Ten churches were wrecked entirely, to
| | |wit: the Royal Chapel, Cathedral, Santo
| | |Domingo, those of the Recollects and
| | |Franciscans, Santiago, San Antonio,
| | |Nuestra Senora de Guia, and the parish
| | |churches of Binondo and San Miguel; only
| | |San Agustin and the Jesuit Church remained
| | |stan
