We have recently acquired the fault line data for the West and East Valley Fault System from PHIVOLCS and have decided to trace the data on top of OpenStreetMap Philippines and on Google Earth. This is to provide a graphical representation of the exact infrastructures that lies on top of the fault line so that everyone will be aware of the dangers and prepare for the future.
The last known activity along this fault line was the year 1658 and is estimated to be active every 300 years plus or minus 100 years. As of the time of this writing, it has been 356 years ago and is well within the potential period of its movement.
The photo above is a snapshot along the area of Muntinlupa and San Pedro, Laguna where the red line is a part of the West Valley Fault Line.
We have prepared a trace of the fault line over Google Earth and can be downloaded here (Mirror1|Mirror2). (05/19/2015 - Added additional fault line estimates traces as plotted from June 2014 PHIVOLCS VFS-GMMA Atlas)

The fault line starts at Montalban Landfill of Montalban Rizal and ends at San Lazaro Leisure Park and Casino at Carmona, Cavite. Although, recent studies of PHIVOLCS shows it still extends from Carmona to Silang and to Calamba, Laguna.
These are the following notable barangays, villages, and infrastructure that lie exactly on top or within a 500-meter radius from the fault line.

ReplyDeleteHave not included it on the list as its nearest feature to the West Valley Fault is about 5.48 kilometers away.
DeleteHi! I'd like to ask if you can confirm the accuracy of the interactive map? Though very helpful I find that it may be a little inaccurate? Basing on the google earth map provided with the overlay of the fault line map, it is a bit off to the right? Kindly confirm as it is sensitive information. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is only as accurate as how PHIVOLCS plotted it on its overlay map. Possibly 5-10 meters accuracy as per optical recognition through trace.

ReplyDeleteHello there, I would like to know when did you update this article since it's said that you have acquired the add'l data last october 2, but the date's states that you have published this last july 11 2014. I would like to confirm since I'm going to use this as a reference for out term paper. Thanks

DeleteHI, listed among your list is Rizal, are we talking about the whole town here being on top of the fault line? Can you provide specific bgys or villages just like the others? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI believe the Rizal in the list is Barangay Rizal in Makati just south of Barangay Aguho in Pateros as there are more specific areas in the province of Rizal listed before it.

ReplyDeleteOne can just use Google Earth to measure distances from the fault line to the location of choice, given that the fault line layer is uploaded. The assumption is if the epicenter is shallow enough, if you are nearer the fault line, the more damage you experience, but many things can still happen.

If we look closely on the details of the Atlas it covers most of Mega Manila including down Laguna and Cavite areas. No wonder why there are so many "rent-to-own" "for as low as" promotions around. Land owners know these facts so they must dispose their lands as fast and profitable as possible. Let us not forget that the most devastating natural calamity is an earthquake, with regards to the most number of lives lost. There are no such thing as "100% earthquake proof" building or construction, although it may help to retrofit. This is a sad reality that people are into profit than safety. In my opinion and as i have compared other maps from Phivolcs and Nababaha.com Safest areas would be New Manila, San Juan, Camanava-Obando, Meycuayan, Marilao. The dilemma is when we go east it's landslide and faultlines. If we go west it floods. Opinions differ, I opt to expeience flooding ( we can raise our houses and float in flood) than experience an earthquake and watch everything fall down apart. Hard earned money and lives at stake. Flood subsides, earthquake stops. Praying for the safety of everyone, Let's make better choices.
ReplyDeleteKasama po b ang bulacan ano2 pong part?
ReplyDeleteThen, may ipapalabas pa na movie, yun San Andreas. Mas lalong mag cause ng pagpanic yan sa mga filipino, magiging blockbuster yang movie dahil maraming manonood dahil sensational na naman ang topic na earthquake ngayon.
ReplyDeleteRizal province po specially angono nearby laguna lake ano po effect.may tendency po ba na tumaas ang level nang tubig before and after the big 1, ..pls, inform us, thanxs
ReplyDeletesalamat naman at hindi kasama ang mandaluyong sa vally fault!!! sa mga tatamaan sana po this time mag umpisa na po kayong mag handa at MAGDASAL nasa hindi ganon kalakas ang maging hagupit ng kalikasan...
ReplyDeletewe never expected this fault line to extend this far. is there a safe distance from the fault line that we can consider safe? if ever my house lies along the fault line will my house be damaged? I never thought the fault line will reach even cavite area and maybe up to laguna. be safe everyone!
ReplyDeleteAccording to PHIVOLCS, the safe distance from a faultline so a structure will not be "eaten" by the soil through liquefaction during an earthquake triggered by the same fault line is 5 meters. However the real issue during an earthquake is seismic waves that travels radially across the epicenter. For that information, you may view the separate article for the risk map here

God Bless to all of us.. He knows everything :)
ReplyDeleteWhat would be the possible movement of the fault? Side ways or up/down
ReplyDeleteWhat type of quake motion are you concluding? Up/down or side ways. We are almost to conclude a lot purchase in Vista Real Classica 2. Will this area be in the 500 radius?
ReplyDeletedextral strike-slip motion
