Earthquake On July 18, 2008?

It’s been circulating on e-mail, blog posts and text messages. They say that someone by the name of Juseleeno Nobulega Daroose predicted that an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.1 will hit the Philippines this coming July 18, 2008.

Well, July 18 is just 10 days away from now. Phivolcs already said that this is an e-mail bogus. “There is no basic science behind it,” Phivolcs Director Renato Solidium Jr. said.

It is a fact that Philippines is located on the earthquake belt, and earthquake can come anytime soon. It could be today, it could be tomorrow, it could be a month later. But no technology has been made yet to accurately predict the exact date of an earthquake, including its magnitude. So, this prediction is simply an intelligently crafted prediction, picking a country on the earthquake belt for a higher probability of becoming true. If it happens, then good guess, he’ll say “I told you so!”. If it doesn’t happen, he’ll say that the prayers saved the Philippines from this earthquake. Hehe. Palusot!

So, here’s my counter prediction. No earthquake on magnitude 8.1 will happen on July 18. Maybe, little tremors at around 0.1 magnitude. But not as high as 8.1. And I will earn more than $30 on that day on Google Adsense because of people googling about this. 🙂 Let’s see who’s the real modern day Nostradamus. Hahaha!

  18. check my blog post for the USGS’ earthquake report last Sunday.

  19. I don’t think earthquakes can be predicted. Still… ang saya saya noh??!!

  21. ..,hi! pipol of d pinas!!!…..ei,22o guh p0h tlga aUn issue,chika or chuvanezzz eklavu n aUn?!?!?

    tepok n Nman kme d2!

    hahahaha!

    by d way…….

    tY a lot for the info…..

  22. hmm..i was in baguio during the 1990 earthquake and it would be scary for people like me to even imagine that another earthquake of that magnitude was to happen. but it would really be a piss-off it that was a joke. a really bad joke. sana talaga hindi totoo. .

  23. hmmmmmm, nbasa q xa ibang blogs n my mga predictions tong brazilian n to n ngkatotoo tlaga, tulad ng pagkamatay ni princess diana at world trade center attack, what do you think of that marghil?

  24. @Pinoy Negosyo… actually, this guy has many predictions. His official sites lists 120 predictions for 2008. Check this out. From January to July, nakalista pa hanggang ngayon dun. Ilan ang nagkatotoo at ilan ang hindi? This guy is just making random predictions, kahit ako, I could write a thousand random predictions (he started when he was 9) and isa or dalawa, pwede magkatotoo. so, I don’t think he’s a prophet. he’s just playing with probability and statistics. the more predictions, the more chances of hitting it. 🙂

    how accurate were his predictions? Dun sa nakalista, wala akong makita na nagkatotoo ngayon. 😀

  25. putang inang yan!!!
    22o ba yan!!!??
    gago
    nagsaBI
    nun
    mamatay

  26. pasale nmn sa $30 oh..ehehe

  27. sus inde nman nya na predict ung paglubog ng barko d2 sa pinas eh………

  28. Ok tong keyword na to ah ! sana may earthquake threat na pinapadala sa email araw araw hehehehee 🙂 Pero wag naman totoong earthquake 🙂

  29. to the Christian believers, wether that prediction is true or not, just read the promise of God in Psalms 91. Of course no one want that to happen but whatever happens,if you want to be safe,read this whole Psalms 91 and have faith.

  30. Marghil I am now behind you for this keyword still at the no. 4 spot (Technically no.3 without the “news results) hehehehe oks ah.

    Earthquake on July 18, 2008 – Daroose’s Predictions

  36. Hindi yan totoo. Btw mispelled pa nga yung pangalan. Dapat Jucelino Nobrega da Luz. Sa website http://www.jucelino.daluz.nom.br/principal.htm) niya wala ang 18 July quake sa Pinas.
    May nabasa ako na ang mga prankster daw ay binase sa April 18 1906 quake sa San Francisco na may magnitude 8. So, kung ako sa inyo huwag kayo maniwala pero dapat lagi lang tayong handa sa mga ganitong bagay: earthquake, bagyo, at etc…

  37. wah?! lapit na..july 16 na nGaun!!!
    sana nman d 22o..

    huhuhu..

  38. tHiS rUmOrZ iS NOT tRuE.

  39. My baby boy has his first birthday July 19, THAT is the day the earth will shake!
    Sobrang Galing, gwapito little Johnny Boy!

  40. hay naku di mo na alam kung ano totoo.
    fake daw yang prophet na yan. sabi naman ng iba, may faker lang na gumagamit ng pangalan
    nya.
    pero kung totoo man yang hula na yan, wala tayung magagawa kung di hintayin ang buong araw ng july 18 (today) kung lilindol ba talaga.
    and lastly…. philippines ang binangit na lilindol, napaka laki ng pilipinas
    dinatin alam san sa pilipinas.
    luzon visayas at mindanao. alanagn naman lahat yun, sana sinabi nalang
    nya na buong pilipinas lilindol. hehehehe
