Phivolcs research specialists

NO ISLAND EXEMPT. Dr. Rhommel Grutas (left), supervising science research specialist at the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), and Robinson Jorgio, seismic observer at the Phivolcs Seismic Monitoring Station in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu, say all islands are vulnerable to a tsunami, even Cebu which is surrounded by other islands. They say tsunamis have already hit Central Visayas, even if it is fl anked by other islands that more directly face the larger bodies of water like the Pacific Ocean.
