PHIVOLCS: Marikina West Valley fault riped

After the devastating earthquake in Japan, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology or PHIVOLCS on Wednesday said that the Marikina West Valley fault line is ripe for movement because it has not moved for 200 years. The possibility of a 7.2 magnitude earthquake is not unlikely. The 7 cities that will suffer the most damage and casualties if a massive earthquake occurs at the West Valley fault are MARIKINA, QUEZON, PASIG, MAKATI, PATEROS, TAGUIG and MUNTINLUPA.
