Following the magnitude 7 earthquake that hit Abra, the provincial government of Ilocos Sur on Wednesday morning suspended work in both public and private sectors.

Singson said Intensity VI was felt in Vigan, Sinait, Bantay, and San Esteban while Intensify V was felt in Magsingal and San Juan."All LGUs are hereby directed and ordered to evacuate communities in the coastal areas, if necessary, based on the assessment of their respective local DRRM, assess the damage sustained by their respective localities, and take the necessary measures to ensure public safety," he said.
