An unusual event happened in Ortigas on Tuesday, February 28. Swarm of bees were flying around in Ortigas, Pasig City which took place at around 3 PM which lasted for an hour.
The swarm of bees catches the attention of many netizens and quickly recorded and uploaded on their social media accounts. It was recorded by Gabz Laurel which according to her interview with GMA News, Laurel said she and her officemates were on break when they saw the bees swarming outside their building.
According to her: “Break time lang naming noong tumingin kami sa window. Nakita namin, maraming nagliliparan na insekto. Tiningnan naming tapos nang tingnan namin nang malapitan, ano siya, mga bubuyog.”
Laurel’s video has garnered thousands of shares and comments. Some claimed the swarm of bees was a foreboding of a doomsday event. netizens were worried that the unusual event is one of the signs that the “Big One” earthquake is near to happen but there’s still no scientific evidence that would prove the claims.
Dr. Cleofas Cervencia, a noted entomologist and lecturer at UP Los Banos said the insects were a “pre-productive swarm” simply passing by looking for a new home.
According to her: “Kasi this season, may tinatawag tayong pre-productive swarm. Dumaan lang ‘yan diyan, and then hahanap sila ng permanent na matitirahan.”
Meanwhile, the PHIVOCS asked the netizens to avoid spreading rumors that an earthquake may happen this month because no one can predict a natural disaster like earthquake.
PHIVOCS said: “There is no reliable technology in the world that can confidently predict the date, time and location of large earthquakes. What we do is prepare earthquake scenarios of hazards and impacts to be used as guide for mitigation, preparedness and response.”
