The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHILVOCS) Director Renato Solidum advised people to get ready for the dangerous earthquake that is caused by the West Valley Fault and would likely to hit particularly those living in Metro Manila and the nearby provinces.
The shocking 6.7 magnitude earthquake that shook the province of Surigao del Norte is one of the deadliest quakes that took place in the province, even in the country. It left hundreds of wounded persons, even fatalities. They have recorded more than 150 aftershocks as of Monday morning, two after the 6.7 intensity. The highest aftershock was with a magnitude of 4.1.
This quake have resulted the Philippine fault line to move and is expected anytime soon at around 7.2 intensity. This would happen in the greater part of Metro Manila. The government particularly the disaster officials have released detailed maps which shows the danger zones that could help those affected areas to prepare.

According to Japan International Cooperation Agency for PHILVOCS and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), this earthquake would wipe out up to 34,000 people and can injure 100,000 more because of disintegrated buildings and structures.
There were reports that there are cracks on some houses and structures that are included in the fault line. Aside from that, some say that they noticed their houses seem to be submerging gradually.
Solidum informed the people to be extra vigilant if similar event happens. He also added that everyone must learn from the current consequences of the magnitude 6.7 earthquake in Surigao del Norte.
It was estimated that the fault line moves every 400 years and the last huge quake transpired in 1658, which was 357 years ago to be exact. Affected areas were parts of Quezon City, Makati, Pasig, Taguig, Bulacan, Marikina, and Muntinlupa in Metro Manila. It also traveled on some parts of Cavite, General Mariano Alvarez, and Silang. Also in Laguna, San Pedro, Binan, Sta. Rosa, Cabuyao and Calamba.
There were reports that areas near Marikina Valley to the area of Manila Bay are prone to experience tremors because this land sits on a soft soil.
Each one of us must prepare for the coming of this “Big One,” we don’t know when? Nevertheless, we have to get ready.
Palpak yang philvocs.pinahirapan nyan ang mga kababayang affected ng taal..pasikat lng nasan.sumabog paba uli yung taal???
Actually Onyok, bago sumabog yung taal a year before naka detect na sila ng abnormalities sa volcanic eruption. Which the philvolcs have clearly stated na yung main crater at PDZ (Permanent Danger Zone) ay strictly off limits. Sure hindi mismo ma ddetect kung kelan bubulwak but they can detect abnormalities.

“In view of the above, DOST-PHIVOLCS is now raising the alert status of Taal from Alert Level 0 to Alert Level 1. This means that the volcano is at an abnormal condition. The public is reminded that the Main Crater should be strictly off-limits because sudden steam explosions can occur and high concentrations of lethal volcanic gases can be released. The northern portion of the Main Crater rim, in the vicinity of Daang Kastila Trail, can also become hazardous when fumarolic or degassing activity along existing fissures suddenly increases. Furthermore, the public is also reminded that the entire Volcano Island is a Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ), and permanent settlement in the island is strongly not recommended. “”
