The Rappler team holding workshops in Cotabato City felt the earthquake while we were in our hotel preparing for the day. The earthquake lasted more than a minute. We felt the ground tilting, saw the hangers in the closet moving, and the electric posts shuddering. Our colleagues waiting inside the van felt like someone was pushing the vehicle from outside.

But at least we’re all still safe!

Ingat, team!
