1990. The massive
tremor wreaked havoc
across a sizeable
portion of Luzon, the
country’s largest island,
with Baguio City
suffering the most
devastating effects.
The epicenter of the
quake, which struck at
4:26 p.m., was north of
Manila in the Nueva
Ecija province. Reports
indicate that the shaking
went on for nearly a full
minute. Collapsing
buildings were the main
cause of damage and
death. Getting out of a
multi-story building was
a good safety precaution
that afternoon, although
many people were
injured and a few even
died in stampedes of
others doing the same
thing.
At Christian College,
a six-story building
completely collapsed,
trapping approximately
250 students and
teachers inside. Heroic
rescue efforts saved
many, but some victims
who did not die in the
collapse were found
dead later from
dehydration because
they were not pulled out
in time.
All types of buildings,
including several resort
hotels in Baguio, known
as the Philippines’
Summer Capital,
suffered tremendous
damage. Most of the
city’s 100,000 residents
slept outdoors that
evening and during the
following week, afraid to
return to their homes
amid the frequent
aftershocks. For days,
workers pulled bodies
from the demolished
buildings in Baguio. The
best estimate is that
1,000 bodies were
eventually recovered. At
least another 1,000
people suffered serious
injuries. Rescue efforts
were hampered severely
because the three main
roads into the city were
blocked by landslides.
Hundreds of motorists
were stranded on the
roads as well. Outside of
Baguio, a chemical
factory fire also caused
terrible damage. The
Tuba gold and copper
mine in the area lost 30
workers when a mine
collapsed.
Baguio, sitting on at
least seven fault lines, is
now listed as one of the
most risk-prone cities in
Asia. In addition to the
risk of earthquakes, the
area’s high annual
rainfall increases the
likelihood of deadly
landslides.
American military
personnel stationed in
the Philippine
archipelago took part in
the relief effort. The area
was revisited by disaster
less than a year later
when Mount Pinatubo
erupted. Some
geologists believe the
two events were
connected.
