Philippines experiences 8 earthquakes per day—over 12,000 recorded between 2020 and 2024. But seismologists warn this constant shaking is building toward something catastrophic. The West Valley Fault beneath Metro Manila last ruptured in 1658, over 365 years ago. It’s statistically overdue.
In this documentary, we expose the terrifying reality facing 13 million people in Metro Manila. The Manila Trench, just 100 km offshore, is capable of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that could reach the city in 15-30 minutes. PHIVOLCS simulations predict 34,000 deaths and 340,000 destroyed buildings when the West Valley Fault finally ruptures.
We break down:
Why the Philippines sits on three colliding tectonic plates
The difference between subduction zone and crustal fault earthquakes
How the 1990 Luzon earthquake killed 1,621 people
Why Mindanao’s 2019 earthquake swarm was just the beginning
The deadly misconception about small earthquakes preventing big ones
GPS data proving stress is accumulating on all major faults
What the 1976 Moro Gulf tsunami teaches us about coastal threats
How building code failures will amplify the death toll
The next major earthquake isn’t a question of IF—it’s WHEN. Are you prepared?
