Colonial-era buildings damaged by deadly quake in Philippines 

Do not worry, we shall rebuild it again like before Except the bell tower, that one's surely unstable for visitors to come inside 31/7/22: Take back what I said, my father works in the Municipality of Bantay, and he said that they can repair the damage, even refurbished the whole thing again, and they'll start from the top dome of the tower, which said it was the weakest

The earthquake in vigan is a lesson to many ilocanos who are prideful of their dictator leader and continue to deny that this leader obviously manipulated the elections by bribery of the stolen tax money.

I have went to vigana nd it is so hearbreaking since i wanted to visit it again on my 21 birthday and i dont know if its gonna be restored by then

Manila once had more of that kind of buildings before world war 2.

@K- Studio Yup if WW2 didn't hit us there will probably still more colonial era buildings all around Philippines.

What remains history will be a history, time and passage changes. Everything shall perish but the memories shall remain, so as God's words.

@Kashgari Because Vigan city is where you can see traditional asian building designs with the influence of European architecture, it's a great city that's why they're preserving it. It's also a symbol of how Filipino culture merged with Spanish ones.

@@BlackFrostMusic preserving evidence, history, and heritage is not something to be moving on about. And by your maharlika comment, i think you're a delusional fanatic of the marcoses. Tell them to pay their taxes.

Meanwhile Haiti is still trying to recuperate from their 'erfquake

@Noah Boat *Why so out of the blue?*

Ehh, I've had worse I survived the Yolanda Storm since the storm reached as far as even Region 5 when it basically demolished Region 6, 7, and 8; and probably I should've died too. Additionally, in the case of this video 20 earthquakes a day is the earthquake frequency of the philippines (though most are not even felt), so this event didn't even surprise me.

@@Zextranet *Oh sorry*

tell that to japan

@Nikolai głodowski what a blissful mind you have, You're more worried to an old building than the people who died during the earthquake?

@Nikolai głodowski go get a doctor, you are sick dude!

@Nikolai głodowski old structures remember even in Italy and Spain centuries old historic buildings also topple down. Nothing is permanent in this world only God's love to mankind remain forever in Isaiah 40:8

Rest in peace po,,

we get the same, but heat waves instead. We Filipinos are the frontline of storms coming from the pacific.

@@KifPH yes very crazy, indonesia and ph are life shield for surrounding southeast asian nations🙂 same like japan! thats why we moved our capital city to the borneo because less disasters almost no earthquakes.

It was two quakes both 4.3 and 4.6 and I wouldn’t say they’re small either

@@lwicks0282 I only felt 1. Do you know where they were located?

@@cherylmedeiros6287 The 4.3 was in Pahala and the 4.6 was in Naalehu

@@lwicks0282 thank you! I felt it, didn't seem too bad. Just any earthquake has me concerned after that big one we had and lost power for 24hrs. Gotta save my food!

@@cherylmedeiros6287 It’s ok and I hope everything is fine now

THERE IS seismic requirements, its just that people often bypass those to cut costs, like residential building and some commercial buildings. And also there are a lot of old building that aren't up to standard. Plus the slums.

How many people read your comments and were mislead? This is not true at all. Buildings w/ 3 storey and above are required to submit seismic analysis when getting building permit. That's why it's important to follow plan specifications made by the engineers. Problem is, contractors or home owners do not follow the plans. For example, there is a specified strength of concrete for beams and columns on structural plans, but it is rarely followed during construction. Either there is no professional who supervise or they tighten the budget. Of course high rise blgs are riskier so they're very careful in following the plans.

Our house has lived through all these Earthquakes. Our house is as old as my father, 60+ years. I'm from Ilocos Norte where it's prone to earthquakes.

Please report this guy for misinformation. You are either misinformed or you know nothing at all. Almost every week there is an earthquake in Philippines that ranges from 4-5 magnitude and twice a year for 6-7 magnitude. Have you heard every year great toll of casualties and damages of the earthquake? Last year Mindanao was hit 7 as well but no one televised it internationally because there were no casualties. Search before you post nonsense.

Civil Engineering student here. There is a seismic requirement with a huge amount of factor of safety. It’s actually the 1990 Earthquake that prompts massive overhaul to the code. Pretty sure all buildings built after the NSCP 2010 and 2015 can withstand a high-magnitude quake/ strong typhoon winds.

Not funny;-;

Shut the flip up if an earthquake happens the news always have reports on them

Who cares to your opinion tho, our heritage are much important than aliens

Lol all ppl busy about politics, politics is the real problem in this world

this is not funny ... this is not a place to comment a joke

Quakes happen all the time

@@biomuseum6645 Only they’ve got worse over the years and more are happening worldwide and in places that don’t usually have quakes

@@lwicks0282 evidence, and source: trust me bro 😁👍

@@ehhhhh596 Evidence of what

@@lwicks0282 look at tectonic plates map

What the heck! The colonial era building are FILIPINO style themselves! Our country is not crazy enough just to throw away our rich history and heritage and such churches are manifestation and inheritance of those greatness! Btw whatever your opinion it won't matter tho because our laws mandates to preserve, prorect such colonial buildings and churches and eventually restore them to its beauty

As far as i know, those type of architecture are called "bahay na bato" which are an improve version of "bahay kubo" or nipa hut houses during the spanish era, so those structures aren't really that "spanish" compared to latin american countries, except of course, the churches. It's more like of a mixed Southeast Asian/native Filipino (built for tropical climate) , Spanish (interior design) and Chinese elements (probably for the sliding "capiz" windows).

@@nogihinasaku7337 Thank you. At least you have read what I have written "churches" which is a colonial era building. 🙏

@@strongchallenger2269 based on your comment, i think rebuilding a church with native Filipino/Austronesian style is not that possible since most of them only follow renaissance, baroque, neo-classical, gothic, romanesque, modern or other western architectural styles. But ngl it would be cool if the catholic church will adapt native elements instead of western.

Nope

@@ordinarydude2237 You're right. Sorry, I misunderstood the comment above. I thought its a shady comment.

@@orangebutblue i think it's a shady comment tho

@@naveah5013 yeah 😏

I'd appreciate earthquake jokes, but clearly not now, that's way too early to talk about.

pzza 4 people literally died from this earthquake stop talking about jokes its not funny

@@paroddoboingo im sorry i farted and killed 4 people ok?

@@xirb-4007 some people prefer to be jokingly optimistic about things. Don't be such a Debbie Downer.

@@Stromboli916 @B S I would appreciate the 'joke optimistically' in another setting, but clearly this is NOT the time. Some people here just doesn't care about situations like these just cuz it doesn't affect them 🙄 but at least be sensitive about posting comments when there's casualties involved because it's not the right time for it.

HDHSBSHSHAHAHAHAHAAHA U BEING SARCASTIC OR WHAT

Yeah...wallow in the colonial past, woke.

Its actually a much more karma that those rajah and sultans was eliminated by beloved Spanish Conquistadors. Anyways we are not Buddhit & Hindus to care further to karma concept tho

@@kingleo7281 colonially mentalized dog has spoken. Why anything colonial for you is beautiful but your true native identity you deny? shame on you

True!! Let go of the past 😔,and make a new history.

And the next disaster that hits China will be God's judgement on who 😜

@@wynn3077 so you claim all Chinese people are bad? Very radical thought u got there

@@wynn3077 exactly. Lol

All your alien opinion should be broken

In Philippines’s case, Spain colonialism

"Anglosaxon"????

Well, it's an Iberian legacy left by the 333-yr rule of Imperial Spain 🙃

Atleast the Spaniards built some. Unlike the AngloSaxon, their only contribution to Philippine architecture is to bomb and destroy

It's Hispanic not Anglo-Saxon.

Bro that's not funny dude 💀💀 imagine being making fun of the countries who affected by the natural disaster

Lol Sabah is part of the Philippines whether you like it or not

How could you say that, just incase u don't know "earthquake" is a very natural disaster/calamity, nobody knows when it will gonna happen, it's nothing to do with the sabah issue.

But just accept the fact that sabah is part of the Philippines, you can do your own research about it, we are not greedy for another territory instead we're just taking what is ours, see the difference?

You're provoke a gang war dude
