Part III of the Series, “Filipino Armageddon” T he Philippine Volcanology and Seismology Agency (PHILVOCS) says that “results of several trenching-excavation surveys at (Metro Manila’s) West Valley Fault (WVF) and the East Valley Fault (EVF) indicate that at least two or perhaps four large surface-rupturing events have occurred (in Metro Manila) since AD 600.” The PHILVOCS made their findings in a 2003 study called, Phivocs Philippines Manila Earthquake Damage Scenario The said study is mentioned in these hyperlinks: http://propinoy.net/2011/03/12/cnn-anna-coren-manilas-earthquake-stats-purposely-hidden-from-public/ http://propinoy.net/2011/03/14/phivocs-philippines-manila-earthquake-damage-scenario/ http://www.scribd.com/doc/50673051/Phivocs-Philippines-Manila-Earthquake-Damage-Scenario The PHILVOCS continued to say that “the recurrence interval of the earthquakes generated is less-than 500 years. It has been suggested that the 1658 and 1771 earthquakes could be candidate events for the EVF. However, no event along the WVF is known. If no earthquake had occurred at the WVF after the 16th century, then the earthquake occurrence along the WVF becomes a serious threat.” (Please note that the City of The Big Quake Is Long Overdue in Metro M etro The Phivocs Philippines Manila Earthquake Damage Scenario study says further that “as for the source fault of these earthquakes, M. L. P. Bautista (2000) has supposed (the) EVF (in Marikina Valley) as the source fault of the 1658 and 1771 event, (the) Infanta (in Quezon Province) Segment of the Philippine Fault Zone (PFZ) as the source fault of the 1880 event and (the) Laguna-Banahaw Fault that runs north to south along the east coast of Laguna Lake as the source fault of (the) 1937 event.” The report further states that “in the 36 hazardous earthquakes, only the 1677 event and the 1863 event have the description of tsunami around Metro Manila.” Per the PHILVOCS study, the strongest earthquakes in the The PHILVOCS study stated also that “Metro Manila will suffer from fire that would burn down some 1,700 hectares of land and kill 19,300 people in the event of the earthquake because there are so many wooden buildings and hazardous facilities.” Presumably the PHILVOCS was talking of a 7.0 to 7.2-magnitude earthquake, which apparently is the number contained in almost all studies about earthquakes in the Another Study About Metro

QUOTE. Makati City is one of the 16 cities and 1 municipality comprising Metro Manila. It has a total land area of 27.36 km2 or about 4.3% of the region’s land area. Its total population is 471,379 as of Among the major disaster risks faced by the city is earthquake. Aware of these imminent risks, the Makati City Government created the Makati City Disaster Coordinating Council, pursuant to Presidential Decree 1566—the national framework for disaster risk management. The city provides programs, projects and activities on preparedness, mitigation, operational response and recovery in emergency situations. It also ensures effective coordination of resources and operatives to, during and after disasters. For more information, please visit www.cityriskpedia.com. UNQUOTE.
