MANILA EARTHQUAKE LIVE As It Happened! (12th May 2021)

whoa okay i just grabbed my phone so we just lucy just thought i was shaking the bed i said i literally said george why are you doing that because it was suddenly just like what it's not me it's an earthquake she's like no stop it stop it it's you the bed so good morning good morning we are not we weren't going to start the vlog yet but i'll just grabbed my phone um to record this little clip i think as english people living in the philippines we're still kind of surprised every time that we have an earthquake the last one was christmas day and it's just reminding me of that i couldn't believe it was on christmas day it started we woke up two and a half that one actually woke us up christmas morning here and luckily we actually have these hanging lights in front of us which is basically our guide to when it's because basically they swing like crazy these these lights here they start swinging around yeah when there's an earthquake and that actually happened this morning that's our guide but yeah good morning welcome to today's vlog i guess still in bed there are different types of earthquake on there maybe it was a different one because usually it feels like shaking sideways this felt like it was going up and down that's why i was like george what are you doing i felt like you were like thumping up and down on the bed oh we don't know what the situation is yet yeah we went on twitter i every time we have an earthquake just to check that it's not just me going crazy i got on twitter i searched earthquake manila hundreds of tweets already did you feel that so i hope everyone's safe i i don't we never know if it's a big one yet or if it was localized here or if that was just an aftershock of a bigger earthquake somewhere else social media is crazy it happened literally two seconds ago and there's already like news people imagine is there more information people in news teams must just have to jump on it so quickly totally and there's already like thousands of retweets and likes and stuff so the philippine star said just in an earthquake was felt here in manila did you feel it too where were you stay safe hashtag earthquake ph yeah so it's yeah a couple of minutes ago uh ah this is where it was lindal ph is that the name of the earthquake maybe i don't know strong quake felt in parts of metro manila maybe it was close wow it was really strong because sometimes earthquakes the christmas day one it was a very like side to side you felt a bit drunk and you felt a bit dizzy it was like a side to side thing but this the bed was going up and down really fast yeah really really it didn't last very long i'd say about 10 seconds maybe by the time you realize it and realize what's going on it's over usually that's kind of our experience with earthquakes and how we felt and stuff what if we've got the clips from the christmas day one lindor means earthquake oh i see in tagalog let's put in some clips from the christmas day one see how we were feeling there okay we just woke up this morning george was woken up to an earthquake but it's so weird this is our first christmas in the philippines and we get woken up by an earthquake which would never happen in the uk yeah interesting to look back on that we've also had one of the biggest videos on this channel is when we felt an earthquake a big one and we picked up the camera and that was a devastating yeah we'll put some clips in as well we were in a restaurant and we everyone was flooded out onto the streets pre-covered time yeah you can see how busy these streets were in manila but that's something we've had to adjust to life here in the philippines we don't get that in england we don't get that in uk my dad grew up in canada and i remember him telling us as kids about earthquakes and stuff yeah i think i've had a few and starting qc into gig yeah it feels like a metro manila thing and until you experience one yourself we first the first one we ever experienced was in bali until you feel one yourself you can't describe it to people can you no yeah and it takes a long time for you to stop feeling it even if it stops yeah in your head you kind of still feel this rocking and honestly i say probably twice a week is this an earthquake and you might be feeling dizzy you get paranoid to it you get paranoid and you think any little shake is an earthquake um and also when you're a kid and you see the films of it really shaky the really bad ones you think i used to think they were all like that and like you really don't want to be caught in an earthquake but often we will just feel a small murmur i suppose and i'm sure there's been so many happening that we didn't even notice yeah absolutely i want to know where it was so it says ah moderate earthquake mindoro apparently they're not hundred percent yet when we're filming this but in mindoro okay so it's not far from us and like you can see here so here is the different rings that show so the stars where it happened and then the rings of what the different areas and then we're obviously in the third ring in manila um where it's been felt here so well so actually it was quite far away yeah so if you're in mindoro you'd have felt it a lot heavier i guess but there could be obviously aftershocks if we have viewers from there and you're are we just going to put this video on that today yeah it's like informative isn't it yeah that's what we've done before with earthquakes well that's what we did with christmas day wasn't it magnitude 5.8 that's quite high i think the manila one was 6.1 yeah really so it would have been felt like crazy i hope everyone's okay me too i really hope they are if you're a viewer in that area if you've got any viewers in that area let us know let us know as let us know the situation let us know um kind of what it's like and if there's been destruction or injuries or anything like that then obviously think about you yeah like i can't we we often do videos about how we have to adjust to life in the philippines because if you're new to the channel um we have basically been not stuck here but we've basically been here for the whole of covid for the whole of the lockdown we haven't wanted to travel anywhere else for a number of reasons obviously due to safety and health reasons uh restrictions borders travel that kind of thing so we've been here the whole time and there's been so many things even small things like in yesterday's vlog we mentioned that mother's day is on a different day yeah we've had to adjust to small things here and i think the natural disasters side of it or natural occurrences the typhoons and we've seen a lot here we've done a lot of storm watches from this very balcony oh it's a nice day there's your morning weather check kind of seen a lot i guess and it's interesting to have new experience like people from the uk if you stay in the uk you would never experience a typhoon or an earthquake so i think it's interesting for us to experience these occurrences and also see how people in another country deal with them and we always say that uh actually we don't know how bad this one is today but we always say that if that when there is these really bad ones um how amazing it is that people in the philippines kind of get together to help the wider community it's trending on twitter there's only five really really really really good earthquake philippines so excuse this very raw vlog um but literally we just felt it we're still in bed having our morning cup of coffee watching a little bit of youtube so it's 106 kilometers south of manila so we hope everyone in the area close to where it happened is safe and well these condo buildings in metro manila apparently they're built and designed to withstand earthquakes so there's actually special structures within the buildings like rollers or something or they absorb a lot of the vibrations so clever and i guess that's something that's not considered in when you make a building in england you don't consider that but here you don't it's like the number one priority i guess anyway excuse the raw vlog excuse the camera quality because i've just grabbed my phone because we literally just felt it i feel like excuse the croaky voices in the morning i feel like we um always like to document these moments because we have a lot of viewers abroad you might have woken up yeah i don't know maybe you're gonna watch this later when you wake up wherever you're watching from i think it's interesting you see on the news that there was an earthquake in the philippines and you might want to see what's going on or like what news there is from when it just happened so that's the kind of reason we do these videos to let's raise awareness be like tell you guys the current situation and document it even for us to look back on in years to come to say wow remember remember that we were just lying in bed and then there was an earthquake yeah so yeah i hope everyone's safe that's the main message comment below if you're from the area if you've heard anymore how bad it was or hopefully it wasn't severe but it sounds like it's quite a big one um they come out of nowhere don't they it's crazy well i guess all your hair i know my hair is this video isn't about my hair we've just woken up i've actually i don't sleep with a hat on by the way i that's yeah i wouldn't be surprised if you did let's keep that on for now anyway we're gonna leave this vlog we'll see in a video uh usual back to usual programming very very soon but we did just want to check in from our bed there will be another vlog today if you um enjoy bed vlogs let us know because that would be way easier for us no i joking um yeah hope everyone's doing well on on a serious note and stay safe and take care yeah as a time stamp i think it happened at 9 10 a.m so comment below where you were when it happened and your experience from it and we love the comment section on these videos because people share uh information and help each other out obviously take it with a pinch of salt because we're not a news channel and the people commenting i mean yeah this is purely documenting what we've experienced this morning so anyway we're going to end off this very impromptu vlog yeah i can still feel it though do you think no no i don't think it's all happening oh my head i still have that i don't know why it takes me ages to get they're still they're still not totally still they're still very slowly getting back to normal there's lights i don't know anyway if you were walking on the street you would have noticed because i looked outside straight away and everyone's still walking yeah you might not if you're walking you're all bouncing and moving yourself because we were lying here so still anyway we are gonna end this one um we'll see you in the normal vlog later on guys take care [Music] [Music] you
