At least four people killed, 15 injured in the Culasi area. Considerable damage in other parts of Panay. Felt (VI RF) at Iloilo; (V RF) at Bacolod, Negros and on Cebu; (III RF) on Camiguin; (II RF) at Sorsogon and (I RF) at Manila, Luzon. Depth from broadband displacement seismograms. FAULT PLANE SOLUTION: P-Waves NP1:Strike=28 Dip=88 Slip=-180 NP2:Strike=118 Dip=90 Slip=-358 Principal Axes: (T) Plg=1 Azm=343 (P) Plg=1 Azm=253 Comment: The focal mechanism is poorly controlled and corresponds to strike-slip faulting. The preferred fault plane is not determined.
