When the 2013 Bohol earthquake struck on the central island of the Philippines at 8:12 a.m. on October 15, I was riding a motorbike with a local friend right by its epicenter. The quake measured 7.2, ripping up roads in front of me, and no doubt causing much more damage inland.

Amongst many live reports and comments I gave to domestic and international media, was this interview for CNN’s Lateef Mungin.
