     According to the Seismological Society of America, a tectonic line which runs almost northwest and southeast passing the northeastern part of Mindoro island crosses the southern part of Tablas in the place where Looc Bay is. There are several ground depressions in this area such as the Looc Bay itself and the many ponds and small lakes in  Alcantara, Looc and Agmanic near Santa Fe. When the last strong earthquake occurred on April 27, May 17 and 19, 1919, the shocks were strongest in this part of the islands, thus proving the fact. - Mateo Meñez on his book Brief History of a Typical Philippine Town
