INCIDENT REPORT

SUBJECT: Earthquake in Quezon Avenue, Digos City on October

16, 2019

This pertains to the earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3 that

happened last October 16, 2019 at around 7:30 in the evening
which affected the Digos Arcade Building. I was already out of the
store when the terrifying earthquake shook Digos. After a few
minutes when the earthquake came to a halt, I hurriedly went to
the store to check for the status of the building and employees.
When I passed by at the Digos Arcade edifice, I immediately saw
that the columns already have cracks and the glass panels of our
BPI tenant were shattered. There were also customers who got
bruises and were wounded as the glass doors were apparently
broken. I promptly reported this incident to the management
right there and then. Unfortunately, since it was very dark due to
the electricity being cut off pursuant to the incident that
happened and we were told by the authorities not to go back
inside the store considering that there were continued aftershocks
occurring, we were not able to inspect the entire building for
other damages that night. We then ensured to secure the area by
trying to close the roll ups for both the main and back entrances
and by deploying at least eight (8) guards to watch over the
edifice until the next morning.

Early morning the next day on October 17, 2019, we proceeded

to immediately conduct a clearing inspection with the security
and maintenance personnel. In the process, we found out that
the ceilings were fragmented and detached from its frame, the
interior wall and floor as well as the columns all had visible
cracks. On the same day, the damage caused by the earthquake
was assessed by the local government as well as the company’s
Engineering team and contractors. All of the damages described
above can be seen and referred to in the pictures submitted.
