The last major earthquake that was caused by the movement of the West Valley Fault (WVF) happened in 1658.

It’s been 358 years since the last major earthquake, so dear friends, there’s no doubt that the big one can happen anytime soon.

The WVF passes through many major provinces and cities in Luzon, from Bulacan to Canlubang (and tons of places in between). It’s best you check how far your home, office and other frequented spots are from the WVF, and more importantly, prepare for the big one NOW.
