However, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), the 7.2 earthquake may have been caused by a previously undiscovered fault transecting Bohol running east-northeast-west-southwest parallel to the island's northwest coast.http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/331158/scitech/science/phivolcs-new-fault-line-may-have-been-source-of-bohol-earthquake Phivolcs: New fault line may have been source of Bohol earthquake October 16, 2013 October 17, 2013 GMA Newshttps://news.yahoo.com/caused-deadly-philippines-earthquake-165838659.html What Caused the Deadly Philippines Earthquake? Yahoo News Philippines LiveScience October 16, 2013 October 16, 2013 Becky Oskin This was apparent in the pattern of epicenters of the subsequent aftershocks. Documentation of the nearly continuous northern terminus of the earthquake ground rupture revealed its association to preexisting scarps of the previously unmapped, Quaternary-active North Bohol Fault (NBH). Trenching across the rupture at four sites not only reveals the geometry and kinematics of the fault but also shows at least one or two pre-2013 surface rupturing events. Onshore geologic mapping and offshore seismic reflection profiles demonstrate the presence of an island-wide, northeast–southwest trending fold-and-thrust belt through which deformation related to the regional shortening across the Visayan Sea Basin in the central Philippines is likely distributed. Displacement along the northeastern segment of the NBF in Inabanga is significantly larger in the northeast than in the southwest. In the northeast, the displacement is mostly 2 m and reaches a maximum of 5 m, while in the southwest, the displacement is mostly less than 1 m. The maximum and average displacements, which were measured along the nearly continuous approximately 2 km long ground rupture in Sitio Cumayot, Barangay Anonang, Inabanga, are around 5 and 2 m, respectively.

Surface ruptures ranging from 0.10 m to as high as 5 m in vertical displacements were exposed in barangay Anonang in Inabanga, Bohol. The mapped surface of the NBF is 6 km long from barangay New Anonang in Buenavista to barangay Napo in Inabanga and generally trends 40 degrees northeast and dips at 50 degrees southeast.http://www.phivolcs.dost.gov.ph/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3145:geologic-impacts-of-the-15-october-2013-mw72-north-bohol-fault-earthquake-bohol-island-philippines&catid=60:latest-news&Itemid=500001 Geologic Impacts of the 15 October 2013 Mw7.2 North Bohol Fault Earthquake, Bohol Island, Philippines Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology October 28, 2013 October 28, 2013 The longest, continuous individual trace mapped by the team is approximately 2 km in Anonang. In this barangay, surface rupture trends 40 degrees northeast. The surface rupture manifested as prominent fault scarps, which range from 2 m to 5 m of vertical displacements. Other geomorphic manifestations observed in Anonang include 2.5 m vertical displacement of Cawasan Creek in Sitio Calubian, producing a small waterfall at the point where the fault transects the creek. Other typical features associated with reverse faulting, such as scallops, bulges and warps, were also observed in the deformation zone, which extended as wide as 30 m in some places.
