List Of Active Fault Lines In The Philippines
Below is the List Of Major Fault Lines Of the Philippines.
1. Marikina Valley Fault (Montalban-San Mateo-Marikina-Pasig-Taguig-Muntinlupa-S… Pedro-Binan-Carmona-Santa Rosa-Calamba-Tagaytay-Oriental Mindoro)
2. Western Philippine Fault (Luzon Sea-Mindoro Strait-Panay Gulf-Sulu Sea)
3. Eastern Philippine Fault (Philippine Sea)
4. Southern of Mindanao Fault (Moro Gulf-Celebes Sea)
5. Central Philippine Fault (Entire Ilocos Norte-Aurora-Quezon-Masbate-Eastern Leyte-Southern Leyte-Agusan Del Norte-Agusan Del Sur-Davao del Norte)
*The earthquake that destroyed Guinsaugon is the Central Philippine Fault
*The 1990 earthquake that destroyed Central Luzon and Baguio is also the Central Philippine Fault.
Of these, the MARIKINA VALLEY FAULT poses the greatest danger because it custs through all the modern and progressive portions of Manila such as Eastwood, Rockwell, Ortigas Center, Bonifacio Global City, Ayala Center, and Alabang. Also, the PhiVolcs people have warned that this fault line can move anytime because it is already “11 years late” for its movement.
Do analyze the figure provided below:
Figure A Tectonic setting of the Marikina Valley fault system (MVFS) in central Luzon, The Philippines. In A, subduction zone trenches are shown by white barbed lines and other faults with high rates of Quaternary activity by heavy black lines. White dots show locations of recent earthquakes on the Philippine fault in Luzon (magnitude 7.8; 1990) and the Aglubang River fault in Mindoro (magnitude 7.1; 1994).
Figure B shows how the Marikina Valley pull-apart basin (MVPB) may have been formed through extension caused by clockwise rotation (dashed circle) and shearing of this part of central Luzon, which is caught between two active left-lateral strike-slip faults–the Philippine fault and the Lubang fault. A zone of extension and young volcanism has also influenced the structural development of the valley.
Philippines are in the Pacific ring of fire,there are so many Major Faults in the country, and we have to trenches surrounding both sides of our country the first one is located at the South China Sea and the other one is called the Philippine trench which is located at the right side of our country, facing the pacific ocean.

We christians,fundamentalists,romancatholics know that biblically:Earthquake is A Maifestaion of god’s Wrath:But Our Lord Jesus Christ Gives the solution to Saint faustina:The Chaplet of Divine Mercy:This special prayer Miracoulously APPEASES God’s Wrath on mankind.So We better Learn to Pray or To Learn to Chant(Sing)this wonderful prayer for singing is equivalent to triple times of a prayer.AMEN.We should at least once a day chant this prayer.or if our time will permit.Every hour of the day.Sing this wonderful prayer.for the purpose of appeasing or lessen God’s Wrath.
Believe it or not:Our Lord also warns:He?she who refuses to pass the DOOR OF MERCY must pass the DOOR OF JUDGEMENT!!! SO san pa tayo??? Sa DOOR OF MERCY NA LAMANG TAYO!!! WE CAN ASSURE OF THE LORD”S PROMISE VIA THE CHAPLET OF DIVINE MERCY
Tamad na kasi manalangin ang tao,kaya marahil nangyayari ang Lindol.Lets resort to the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy:THIS PRAYER APPEASES GOD’s WRATH. AMEN

Will the fault line pass through ADB Avenue cor. Ortigas Avenue? (back of Robinsons Galleria)
Regardless of your faith, belief or religion, earthquakes or any other natural calamity don’t care. Better be prepared for the worst because whether you like it or not or pray every second of the day, the worst will happen as it is manifested now.
nakakatakot naman….sana di na matuloy…..:(
