All politicians are busy campaigning , hope someone would act upon this, so we may be prepared if it happens.

Tagal na ata itong warning. Kaya never buy a property along the fault line, that include the up class Valle Verde subdivision. Every ten years ata may major earthquake sa pinas and the last one was in 1989 pa...

The Valley Fault System and formerly as the Marikina Valley Fault System is a group of dextral strike-slip[1] fault which extends from San Mateo, Rizal to Taguig City on the south; running through the cities of Makati, Marikina, Parañaque, Pasig and Taguig[2]. The fault possesses a threat of a large scale earthquake with a magnitude of 7 or higher[3][4] within the Manila Metropolitan Area with death toll predicted to be as high as 35,000[3][4] and some 120,000 or higher[3] injured[4] and more than three million needed to be evacuated[5].

People have known about it since the big earthquake back in 1990 (or 1991) that rocked Manila to Baguio.

The Marikina fault was already highlighted as a potential disaster in the making back then. I know because I remembered reading the news articles and watching it on TV then.

20 years later ... people have either have forgotten or preferred to not to remember.

Let's pray and hope it does not happen. And get ourselves ready for it should it happen.

Nakakatakot yung mga bagong gusali. Sana rated for more than 7 in the Richter scale.

Correct! This is nothing new.

It only becomes highlighted again when something big happens like that in Haiti, Chile and China.

the best that we could do is to spread the news to other people who hasn't heard of this news yet because the media/government/politics/citizens are more onto the "campaigning stuffs". and pray. we're battling against nature which is hindi natin alam when it would strike. hmm.. 'battling' maybe is a wrong term

unless you spend 24/7 standing in the middle of a rice field or a parking lot where nothing can fall on you, there's no way you can be ready for an earthquake

Please, please.. ginigising lang tayo ni God.. Let us all not forget to pray to him... i'm sure hindi Niya hahayaang may masamang mangyari sa atin, dahil tayo nga ang nangungunang christian country sa Asia... but still, we need to read His Book (bible), pray to Him, and do what He commands..

Trying not to sound so atheist but ... what makes the Filipino people so much more "special" that God would "spare" calamity from a certain group over another? Wouldn't that make God "prejudiced"? Since God is supposed to love all his "people" with equality... shouldn't we be in the firing line just like the rest of his creations?

And honestly, this is not a religion discussion so best to keep it to topic and keep religion out of this thread.

[badsekktor]

a big earthquake will definitely hit. the question is when will this hit us?

badtrip na 2012 yan sana hindi na lang ako nanood

So you just prefer to think the senario in "Day After Tomorrow" would be the way the world "ends"?

Snow cones for everyone!!

it's plate tectonics

it has nothing to do with supernatural beings

the Earth is forever unstable, forever changing

geologic, atmospheric, the occasional large asteroid impacts

we're lucky there's this relatively benign period that allowed us humans to flourish

there have been a number of mass extinction events in the past

no reason why another mass extinction event cannot happen again

Here's a detail of the fault line:

How stupid does Norberto Gonzales sound saying "there is no 100% preparation for a major earthquake..."? How about the government just being prepared for an earthquake? If the big one hit it Manila would be like San Francisco with the 1906 earthquake, except instead of fire you would have a lot of building collapse. Just look at what they showed on the video, cement walls cracked and no evidence of rebar in the cement wall for reinforcement, houses built on top of the fault line, and to top it all the biggest mall built in a reclamation area where you'll have soil liquefaction as the ground below it settles from the shaking of the earthquake.

Lets just pray that when it happens we're not in the wrong place at the wrong time...

[CeeGee]

We have all the time to prepare but when do we start?

I hope you guys are starting to figure out your emergency plan specially on your homes..

Yung MOA lulubog ba sa dagat kung lumindol ng 7.2? I read it in tsikot before that MOA had lots of crack and water seepages before it was rectified. The cracked low-cost goverment provided housing isn't the only one built along the fault line. I think Eastwood, Ortigas Center and Valle Verde Subdivisions are also built on top/near the fault line. If the buildings in Baguio were a measure of the buildings in Manila when it bore the brunt of a 7.7 earthquake, nakakatakot yung resulting damage talaga...
