By coincidence, four moderate earthquakes struck in this map area with the Philippines in the center. M4.5 and M4.6 earthquakes hit WNW of Northern Marianas Islands, WNW of Sikabaluan, Indonesia, N of Claveria (Cagayan), Philippines and SW of  Pondaguitan (Davao Oriental), Philippines that formed like the Nazarene Cross.
