No one, not even the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology can predict an earthquake.

The Phivolcs on Friday warned the public against social media posts on the supposed predictions of earthquake occurrence.

The agency reiterated that there is still no reliable technology today that can predict when and where a tremor will happen.

“We cannot predict when or where an earthquake will happen. There is no reliable technology in the world that can confidently predict the date, time and location of large earthquakes,” it said.

Phivolcs also asked the public to avoid sharing false information that will only cause fear and panic.
