00:00The magnitude 7.7 earthquake in Myanmar hit hard this Friday.

00:06How is the Philippines prepared for the big one that is expected to have a magnitude 7.2?

00:13This is the story of Mav Gonzalez.

00:21If this is how the magnitude 7.7 earthquake in Myanmar hit the Philippines,

00:26what if the big one hits the Philippines?

00:29This is the magnitude 7.2 earthquake in West Valley Fault

00:32that could hit Metro Manila and nearby provinces.

00:37According to PHIVOX, it is estimated that 50,000 people will die if it happens.

00:56Around 12 to 13 percent would sustain heavy damage.

01:0110 to 30 storey buildings, around 11 percent heavy damage

01:07and then 30 to 60 storey buildings, 2 percent.

01:10And expected casualty would be around 33,500.

01:15And injured, around 100,000.

01:19And then additional deaths by fire, around 18,000.

01:24That's why the Department of Transportation is continuing inspections and retrofitting

01:29the infrastructure as part of the preparation for the big one.

01:33There are also regular earthquake drills so that we can know what to do

01:38and not panic if it happens.

01:41Of course, the cover and hold is there.

01:43Then it will go to the nearest evacuation center.

01:48Stay away from buildings or debris that could fall.

01:53But to be honest, the so-called big one is not the biggest one

01:58because there are stronger earthquakes that could hit the country.

02:02We have higher earthquake generators, active faults,

02:06that are capable of generating higher magnitude earthquakes.

02:11For example, in Gabaldon, the Philippine Fault, we expect magnitude 7.9 earthquake.

02:18The Philippine Trench, it will affect Eastern Samar

02:22and it can produce 8 to 9 meter tsunami waves.

02:26The Manila Trench, it's also capable of generating magnitude 8.2 earthquake.

02:31In Kasaysayan, magnitude 8.1 earthquake hit the city of Cotabato in 1976.

02:398,000 people died and that was again, it produced a tsunami.

02:45It happened past midnight, so maybe there was a lot of sleep

02:49and the tsunami wave arrived in just 5 minutes.

02:52So, our countrymen were not able to evacuate immediately.

02:57For those who are in the coastal areas, drop, shake, and roar should be taken care of.

03:03If you can feel a shaking that you can't stand,

03:06and then if you discover that there is a,

03:08or if you can notice that there is a sudden drop of sea level

03:13and there is a roaring sound or a rumbling voice coming from the sea,

03:17then you have to evacuate immediately to a higher place because it can cause a tsunami.

03:22In the end, we must always be prepared, especially the houses and houses that we are building.

03:28The earthquake is not fatal.

03:31It's the collapse of human-built structures such as buildings, walls, bridges that may claim lives.

03:39So, we really have to make sure that we follow the building code.

03:42Earthquakes are random events and they cannot be predicted.

03:46So, again, I will reiterate, the best course of action is always preparedness.
