7.2?! HOLY COW!!
That is a TREMENDOUS quake. Buildings have fallen; people have died. What a terrible shame!
I don't suppose that the Philippine government and contractors are interested in BUILDING "earthquake proof" structures. They exist elsewhere; they could exist there.

Reuters says no immediate reports of damage or injuries. Not very many articles up yet though.

Strong earthquake hits Bohol, 6 killed
Tuesday, October 15, 2013
CEBU (7th Update) A powerful magnitude-7.2 earthquake jolted Carmen, Bohol and other parts of the Visayas and Mindanao Tuesday morning, killing at least six persons and injuring dozens others.
At least four people were confirmed killed in Cebu City.
Cebu City Vice Mayor Edgar Labella said in radio interview that the four were killed after a slab from the fish market fell on them.
"We're quite fortunate today is a holiday, not too many people in (office) buildings," he said.
Another report said two persons were killed when part of a public market in Mandaue City in Cebu collapsed. Seventeen others were reportedly injured.
Neil Sanchez of the local disaster council in Cebu told ANC that a school building has collapsed in Talisay City and several schoolchildren were trapped in the debris.
The Philippine Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) Director Renato Solidum Jr. said in a radio interview that while there is no indication the quake can cause a tsunami and damage.
Phivolcs has so far recorded 18 aftershocks as of 10:30 a.m., he said.
