Earthquakes on April Fools' day

Four earthquakes rocked different parts of the Philippines, 2 quakes in Mindanao and 2 quakes in Luzon. They're not destructive but 4 quakes in less than a half day? That's plenty. It's kind of like a prank on an April Fools' Day. The quakes were felt in Zambales, Catanduanes, Davao del Sur, General Santos City.

Earthquake Awareness

We just had a Barangay meeting last Saturday. It's about Earthquake preparedness and other emergency situations such as fire and typhoon. It's the first time that the Homeowners responded to such meeting, only because of the recent unfateful earthquake in Japan. If it hadn't for that recent disaster, people will not and meet with the Barangay. The barangay calls for Earthquake awareness, and for the hope that people will always be prepared and will know what to do in case such emergencies will happen.

Readers, I hope your earthquake concern will never die down on you, these are not like rumors that will spread and die down when people get tired of it. It is alarming because the whole Metro is not prepared for this thing, we lack of rescue equipments and the infrastructures are not spared.

According to Philvolcs, they received a number of incident reports wherein houses, grounds or lands in Muntinlupa, especially in Barangay Putatan beside the Laguna de Bay are gradually sinking for years now since the 1990 Luzon earthquake. It is a major sign that there is liquefaction happening in the area. Despite this, people still continue to live there. They're mending their homes from the damages of the gradual liquefaction while risking their lives every day. Not to mention that they've been through the swelling of Laguna de Bay last Typhoon Ondoy, flooding their homes.

Areas surrounding the West Valley Fault Line

The West Valley Fault Line or the Marikina Valley Fault Line traverses a number of residential areas in Metro Manila. My father told me our subdivision was developed on a fault line. I am curious but I can't find any exact location published, like specific residential areas. I called the Geology Department of Phivolcs to give me the exact location of the fault in our subdivision but I was told their map is not detailed enough to see the street names or see minor landmarks, I have to go to their office to compare our subdivision map against theirs. I just surfed for a Phivolcs maps and made a list of the areas traversed by the fault. The maps from Phivolcs are old, I have not labeled some exact locations of the fault on those areas so new infrastructures are not included in it .

Minimum buffer zone from the fault is 5m, meaning the minimum distance of restriction from the fault. The buffer zone is violated a number of times by real estate developers, building structures on the fault. If there'll be a big earthquake, damage is expected within 1km radius from the fault.
