TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Taiwan was struck Wednesday, April 4, 2024, by its most powerful earthquake in a quarter of a century. At least nine people were killed and hundreds injured, buildings and highways damaged and dozens of workers at quarries stranded.Taiwan is no stranger to powerful earthquakes yet their toll on the high-tech island's 23 million residents has been relatively contained thanks to its excellent earthquake preparedness, experts say.Here is a closer look at Taiwan’s history of earthquakes:WHY SO MANY TEMBLORS?Taiwan lies along the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” the line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean where most of the world’s earthquakes occur.The area is particularly vulnerable to temblors due to the tension accumulated from the interactions of two tectonic plates, the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate, which may lead to sudden releases in the form of earthquakes.The region’s mountainous landscape can magnify the ground shaking, leading to landslides. Several such landslides occurred on Taiwan’s eastern coast near the epicenter of Wednesday's quake near eastern Hualien County, when falling debris hit tunnels and highways, crushing vehicles and causing several deaths.HOW WELL-EQUIPPED IS TAIWAN TO HANDLE QUAKES?Wednesday’s earthquake measured 7.2, according to Taiwan’s earthquake monitoring agency, while the US Geological Survey put it at 7.4. It damaged several buildings in Hualien but caused only minor losses in the capital Taipei despite being strongly felt there.The earthquake hit in the middle of the morning rush hour yet only slightly derailed the regular commute. Just minutes later, parents were again walking their children to school and workers driving to offices.“Taiwan’s earthquake preparedness is among the most advanced in the world,” said Stephen Gao, a seismologist and professor at Missouri University of Science and Technology. “The island has implemented strict building codes, a world-class seismological network, and widespread public education campaigns on earthquake safety.”The government continually revises the level of quake resistance required of new and existing buildings — which may increase construction costs — and offers subsidies to residents willing to check their buildings’ quake resistance.Following a 2016 quake in Tainan, on the island’s southwestern coast, five people involved in the construction of a 17-story high-rise apartment building that was the only major structure to have collapsed, killing dozens, were found guilty of negligence and given prison sentences.Taiwan also is pushing quake drills at schools and workplaces while public media and cellphones regularly carry notices about earthquakes and safety.“These measures have significantly enhanced Taiwan’s resilience to earthquakes, helping to mitigate the potential for catastrophic damage and loss of life,” Gao said.THE 1999 QUAKE WAS A WAKE-UP CALLTaiwan and its surrounding waters have registered about 2,000 earthquakes with a magnitude of 4.0 or greater since 1980, and more than 100 earthquakes with a magnitude above 5.5, according to the USGS.The island’s worst quake in recent years struck on September 21, 1999, with a magnitude of 7.7. It caused 2,400 deaths, injured around 100,000 and destroyed thousands of buildings.It was also a major wake-up call that led to key administrative reforms to improve emergency response and disaster reduction, according to Daniel Aldrich, professor of political science and public policy at Northeastern University.“Observers strongly criticized Taiwan’s response to the 21 September 1999 earthquake, arguing that it took hours for emergency medical response teams to arrive, that rescuers lacked training, and that the operations between government agencies were not well coordinated," he wrote in an email. As a result, the government passed the Disaster Prevention and Protection Act and set up two national centers to handle coordination and training for earthquakes.“I think we’re seeing the results in this most recent shock,” he said.

Most of the funds, I can see in their report, don't go to the children.)“Na-release na ang pera bago pa ako iinform kasi who am I daw, mataas pa daw ba ko kay Apollo Quiboloy na nag-utos sa kanila na magpadala ng pera. 2019 nagresign na ako kasi merong 1 million Canadian dollars na pinadala kami sa Pilipinas na walang explanation… Niloloko mo ang mga tao na nangongolekta ka para sa mga bata ‘yun pala pang gasoline lang sa jet kasi babyahe mula Davao papunta sa Maynila, wala daw pang fuel,” he added.(The money was already released before I was informed, saying Apollo Quiboloy ordered them to send money. In 2019, I resigned because we sent 1 million Canadian dollars to the Philippines with no explanation... You are deceiving the people that you are collecting for the children, but the money was spent just for gasoline for the jet that Quiboloy will be using for his flight from Davao to Manila.)Makiling said he was then accused of stealing money from the foundation but he maintained that there were no cases filed against him.Quibiloy earlier said that he will only face charges against him in a proper court.On Monday, March 4, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said the DOJ has ordered the filing of child abuse and human trafficking charges against Quiboloy in Davao City and Pasig City, respectively.

We thus invoke our client's right against further incrimination by recusing himself from the ongoing investigation," read the letter.Hontiveros refused, however, to accept such an excuse.Senator Robin Padilla objected to the issuance of an arrest order against Quiboloy.Hontiveros said the members of the panel have seven days to formalize any objection to her ruling citing Quiboloy in contempt.Facing the Senate panel, several former members of KJC shared their bad experiences at the hands of Quiboloy and other high-ranking officials of the organization.Some women claimed they were sexually abused by the self-proclaimed “Appointed Son of God,” while some men said they received painful physical punishment for violating rules.Others also claimed that they were being instructed to beg on the streets as they have a “monthly quota” to reach.During Tuesday’s hearing, Dindo Makiling, former executive director of KJC’s Children’s Joy Foundation in Canada and Australia, said he resigned from the post and ended his ties with the KJC after he realized that the funds being donated for the foundation are not being fully utilized for the needs of the children under its care.He said the minors under the care of the foundation are mostly children of KJC’s full-time workers who were being sent abroad.“Kaya ako tralaga nagkaroon na ng question, all the money that we collect here, lalabas ang pera ng hindi ko alam…Most of the funds makikita ko naman sa report nila pumupunta sa kung saan hindi naman napupunta sa mga bata,” said Makiling.(That's why I already had a question, because all the money that we collect here is released without my knowledge... Most of the funds, I can see in their report, don't go to the children.)“Na-release na ang pera bago pa ako iinform kasi who am I daw, mataas pa daw ba ko kay Apollo Quiboloy na nag-utos sa kanila na magpadala ng pera. 2019 nagresign na ako kasi merong 1 million Canadian dollars na pinadala kami sa Pilipinas na walang explanation… Niloloko mo ang mga tao na nangongolekta ka para sa mga bata ‘yun pala pang gasoline lang sa jet kasi babyahe mula Davao papunta sa Maynila, wala daw pang fuel,” he added.(The money was already released before I was informed, saying Apollo Quiboloy ordered them to send money. In 2019, I resigned because we sent 1 million Canadian dollars to the Philippines with no explanation... You are deceiving the people that you are collecting for the children, but the money was spent just for gasoline for the jet that Quiboloy will be using for his flight from Davao to Manila.)Makiling said he was then accused of stealing money from the foundation but he maintained that there were no cases filed against him.Quibiloy earlier said that he will only face charges against him in a proper court.On Monday, March 4, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said the DOJ has ordered the filing of child abuse and human trafficking charges against Quiboloy in Davao City and Pasig City, respectively.
