Seismology (Phivolcs Valley Fault System (VFS) Atlas, officials-do-the-walk-the-fault
some areas in Taguig are crossed by the West Valley
Fault, which can potentially generate a 7.2 magnitude
earthquake.

In Metro Manila, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) is watching the Marikina Valley Fault (also called the
West Valley Fault), a fault system that runs through major cities in the metro and nearby provinces.

Among them are the following: Norzagaray and San Jose Del Monte City in Bulacan, Rodriguez in Rizal, Quezon City, Pasig City, Taguig
City, Muntinlupa City, San Pedro, Cabuyao, Calamba and Sta. Rosa in Laguna, and Carmona, Silang and General Mariano Alvarez in
Cavite.

Phivolcs said the fault, which is capable of a large-scale earthquake of magnitude 7 or higher, is ripe for movement and can strike
anytime in the next few years.

It also released a hazard map showing exactly where the fault passes through, and has identified key areas where residential villages,
hospitals and schools are located directly over the valley fault.
