Phivolcs: Marikina Valley fault line 'ripe' for movement - Nation - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) on Wednesday said the Marikina West Valley fault line supposedly capable of producing a 7.2-magnitude earthquake is "ripe" for movement.
"Ripe na gumalaw ang fault. Napakataas ng probability na gumalaw ito in the future, hindi lang natin masabi ang exact date and time," Phivolcs deputy director Bartolome Bautista said during a Senate inquiry on the country's disaster preparedness on Wednesday.
(The fault is ripe for movement. There is a high probability that it will move in the future, we just cannot say the exact date and time.)
Bautista explained that the earthquake fault, which runs from Sierra Madre to Tagaytay, moves every 200 to 400 years.
The last time that the fault moved was 200 years ago, he said.
