‘Big One’ Earthquake Might Strike Anytime, Phivolcs Says

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) confirmed that ‘big one’ earthquake might now strike anytime due to irregular movements of west valley fault.

Previously, Phivolcs announced that there is an upcoming ‘big one’ earthquake that could hit Metro Manila and its nearby provinces under the west valley faults. The disastrous earthquake was expected to strike 3 to 4 years from now, but Phivolcs confirmed that the quake could strike anytime.

Two major faults or trenches in the country were now under the observation of Phivolcs. When these faults start to move, a large area of Luzon would be affected by the expected 7.2 magnitude earthquake.

‘Big One’ Earthquake

Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (PDRRMC) also explained that San Manuel Fault Line in the province where San Roque Dam was built could be possibly affected by the quake due to west valley fault movement.

The expected movement of Manila trench in the West Philippine Sea might cause a devastating tsunami in the 14 coastal towns of Pangasinan. PDRRMC spokesperson Avenix Arenas also said that Bulacan, Metro Manila up to Southern Luzon will the most quake and tsunami affected areas.

Some studies show that a 32 feet tsunami could be generated by the upcoming disastrous earthquake. Residents in the coastal areas of the affected areas should prepare anytime for the quake could possibly strike anytime.

‘Big One’ Earthquake

Arenas also advised the residents of the affected areas to be well-prepared on the upcoming devastating earthquake to avoid injuries and casualties. Earthquake drills, preparations, and equipment could help the residents in the affected areas to be well prepared.

This report was based on the article posted by the Facebook page “DWCM Aksyon Radyo Pangasinan”.

  2. Prediction.. tama naman yan na may prediction , kaya lang pag may dasal I know God will protect us from real harm. Remember Sodom and Gomorah? Sinira niya dahil wala ng nagdasal. Kaya we have to be back at God’s bossom.

  3. No, isa pa po ako sa mga hindi handa. lalo na nakatira ako sa isang high rise building. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko kapag lumindol at nasa building ako.

  7. Inorder for us to be prepared for this big one our government must be the first prepared for the needs of our people like giving life vest if there will be a tsunami before it happens. News update about what is happening everyday about the said fault lines always remind people by giving adds or tv commercials on how to be safe during earthquake, if our countrymen will always saw it in their telivision they will be reminded every minute what to do when the said being has come

    • Jasmin, with all respect, please decide where your faith is, because you seem to be confused between whether to trust God and His written word to us – or the added on inventions by people who contradict Jesus teaching. Please read your Bible.
      You say: “Pray the rosary everyday that is what MamaMary said that whoever believe in me will survive and the one do not will perish.” …
      Jesus taught us to pray to God the Father, through His name: “there is one God and one Mediator .. Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5) .. “in Him dwelled all the fullness of God bodily” (Colossians 2:9) He prayed: “this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” (John 17:3) … There is nothing – wala – about praying to Mary. She is not deity, and she can’t mediate or answer prayers. Mary needed a Saviour just like you and I do. (Luke 1:47) For effective prayers we must direct our hearts to God through the Lord Jesus. (John 14:6) The Father was in Jesus. (John 14:7-10 / 1 Timothy 3:16)
      I pray you will learn the difference between Spirit and flesh / deity and humanity .. and stay safe there. I pray for my fiancee and family in Mindanao. God bless 🙂

  16. You give us warnings but the warnings are not complete. In case of earthquake… you’re on the road, stop or go… there are live electrical wiings and it topples.. what actions to do by bystanders.. in the car.. moving vehicles.. etc. In communities.. we only warn of building collapse.. but coordination with power supply, livewires, emergency roadways, water supply and nearest emergency tent areas in case of hospital inability ang workforce inability… yolanda affected it all.. what are the plan just asking.

  17. Based from observation, hindi nababahala ang mga filipino sa ganitong issue lalo na ung mga asa metro manila. Bilang isa ako sa nagaalala sa pwdeng mangyari, gusto sana bigyang stress ang mga sumusunod. Ito ay mga suggestions ko na sana mabigyang pansin. Bukod sa mataimtim nadasal, sana may gawin din ang pamahalaan tungkol dito at itigil na ang issue sa iringan nila trillanes at dutuerte.
    1. Earthquake Awareness Program – make a monthly habbit to conduct in each of barangay and business sectors na may fault at madadaanan nito.
    2. Identify the evacuation site of the people in all places
    3. Make sure to fix the wires or cables sa streets. Para maavoid ung live wires kung sakaling bumagsak ang post ng kuryente.
    4. Sana mabigyang pansin ito ng government bilang paghahanda sa budget at iba pa. Please let them know this and propose a project habang may time pa. Kasi we never know when it will happen.
    5. Please as early as now conduct a checking for all the buildings in metro manila. Para ngayin palang alam na natin kung paano ang gagawin. Marami sa amin ay nagtatrabaho sa mga buildings kaya sana wag puro post lng sa internet sana may action din. Maraming mamamatay kung walang kikilos.
    6. Make sure that all the medical persinnel and the like are ready for this. For sure magkukulang tayo ng mga taong gagamot sa mga masusugatan kung hindi handa ang lahat.
    7. Utilize the functions of the government officials lalo na sa mga municipalities. Let them lead this preparation and awareness. Kung sila ay isa sa mga hindi pumapansin sa mga ganitong pagkakataon, lalo tayong hindi magiging handa.

    AS EARLY AS NOW PLEASE SAVE THE PEOPLE. CALL THE ATTENTION OF THE GOVERNMENT. LET THEM DO ACTION.

  21. Opinion ko lang po, ang mga kalamidad gaya ng bagyo, lindol at marami pang ibang uri nito ay gumagalaw dahil yata sa marami ng mga tao na NAKAKALIMOT SA KANYA. Masdan at pansinin nyu po ang mga balita o nangyayari sa ating bansa. Puru away, puru siraan, napapansin ang kasalanan o dumi ng ibang tao subalit ang sarili nya ay di nakikita, masasamang salita ang pinag sasabi sa kanyang kapwa, maka koment na akala moy alam nya na ang lahat, kung makahula ay parang iyon ang totoong dapat paniwalaan. Pakiramdam nya sa sarili nya sya ang diyos. Nag-iisa lang po ang Tunay at Dakilang Diyos sya po yung lumikha ng lahat lahat, Subalit lumalabas na dumarami ang Diyos. Marahil kaya gumagalaw ang mga ganyang kalamidad dahil kaya ng mga ganyang kalamidad wasakin ang isang lugar o isang bayan o maging isang bansa. Upang ipa alam sa atin na Syay tanging nag iisa laman at wala ng iba mula pa maging noon o ngayon at maging sa mga susunud pang mga panahon hanggang sa dulu o walang hangganan…

    Kanina during our break, Dito sa MAKATI Magallanes, mga bandang 3:20AM yata yun, Nagising kami sa Lindol. Medyo malakas siya. Were in a 4th floor bldg. Di namin alam gagawin namin ng mga officemates ko. Today is Feb.24, 2017 mabuti nalang hindi masyadong matagal. Pero malakas talaga siya, nakakatakot. 🙁

    Stay safe everyone.

  23. Sa tingin ko kahit magka bilaan ang pag earthquake drill ng karamihan lalo na dito sa makati area, hindi pa din masasabi na talagang magagamit ang pag earthquake drill lalo na sa mga matataas at puro salamin ang karamihan ng building dito at magkaka tabi pa. Walang open space na pwedeng matatakbuhan kapag kinakailangan ang oag evacuate kung sa kaling mangyayari ang nasabing earthquake. Sana isa ito sa dapat paghahandaan ng ating Gobyerno tutukan dapat nila ito, lalo na sa ngayon hindi na tayo basta basta maka hingi ng tulong sa ibang bansa upang maka hiram man lang ng mga gamit na makinarya kung sakali man.

  24. Pray unceasingly….God is in control of everything. At the same time, we know what a 7 + magnitude of an earthquake is, what was the Richter scale of such had struck Bohol? That was big time natural disaster! God gave us intelligence to use….so then let us all use our brains here…everyone must prepare for any possible disaster. You have to have a designated place on the highlands in case of a threat of tsunamis…first aid supplies, flashlights, water, medicine, blankets, and food. At the same time the gov’t should administer and coordinate all services from the local to the national government. Temporary shelters, designated campsites and strategic posts, etc…dapat laging may disaster planning strategies ang lahat. Sana po lagi tayong handa…let us start preparing NOW!

  25. Puta o ano ibabalita lang ba yan o walang planong gagawin but to be prepare to die? Imbis na gawan ng parang plano or evacuation to saves many life as we can tapos sasabihin nila be prepared na lang? Pray for god?

    Please do something that can be helpful or to saves a lot of people as we can. Yung ibang filipino sobrang busy sa kanilang mga trabaho di nila alam itong news but to think that their jobs are more important than their lives an their families.

  26. Spiritual preparation is the most important because it is eternal. It’s easy to do it. Pray like this from your heart. “Lord Jesus, I believe that you died on the cross to pay for my sins. I ask you now to forgive me for all of my sins. I invite you to come into my life, reign in my heart and you are now become my Lord and Savior. I receive your gift of eternal life, and please include my name in your book of life in heaven. Thank you that one day I’ll be with you in heaven eternally. This I pray in Jesus name, amen.” If you respond to this comment positively, the Bible says in Jn 1:12 you become a child of God, and 1 Jn 5:11-13 you have eternal life. Therefore, if you will die when the big one comes, you will go to heaven. Then read the Bible everyday and attend Bible study near you. Or just let me know if you need my help for your spiritual growth. God bls you.

  27. A lot of people are informed of the warning of the ” Big One ” earthquake. However, I have not heard of any government agency preparing of a contingency plan for the earthquake or the possible tsunami. We are now on the Feb 24 – March 8 period and yet no public announcement or warning or guide issued by any government office.

  29. From what I know and see here in the Philippines most of the people will do nothing. The one’s who do will get trapped in traffic jams and get nowhere. The traffic is bad enough like it is on a normal day. I am from the U.S. in Florida where we have a lot of hurricanes with tornadoes and a lot of rain and high winds. I moved our family to Tagaytay City after I moved here. With earthquakes you can never be prepared enough, because you don’t know how bad it’s going to be and when it will hit. With hurricane and typhoons you have plenty of time to prepare and to leave the area if you need to. A tsunami with a 32 feet title wave will wipe most of Manila out. The people in those areas will be like those in the movies, running for their lives with no chance of surviving. Maybe, the best thing to do is to run to one of the many tall buildings and go up as high as you can. Hopefully, one that’s not damaged from the earthquake.
