About Stuvwx
This blog was started in 2013; however, it actually began in 2010 but got corrupted and backups of the original helped to restart the present blog. Prior to 2010, i was emailing people Google maps with the fault trace. But it was in 2005 when i assembled my first map.
In 1990, i got ahold of a photocopy of a tabloid size, black and white map when the former Phivolcs head, the late Ricardo Punongbayan gave an earthquake awareness seminar after the July 16 earthquake. i put away the map inside a cannister and rediscovered it 15 years later when i was going through my old stuff. Instantly, sirens went off inside my head and took stock of the situation on what i had: Windows in my computer (DOS ruled PCs 15 years earlier), Adobe Photoshop, a powerful image scanner and, most of all, a coffee table book of tiled large maps of Metro Manila. Fancying what i could accomplish with technology and a 15 year old map, i put my competency at work and scanned images and assembled them on my desktop computer. Lo and behold, even after checking the work several times, i got the jolt of my life when i discovered my rented house was actually sitting on top of a fault line! Not long after, i evacuated and resided far from any faultline.
At the time, i was probably one of the few (not that i know anyone else) who assembled a map of the fault line. What were the chances that i assemble a fault line map as a weird activity and suddenly find myself and my family at risk and unaware that a silent, deadly fault line ran directly under our house.
It was an epiphany! Since then i knew what i had to do, and God brought everything to pass easily and smoothly. However, truth to tell, creating the maps was so nerve-wracking and I could not have done it all if I weren’t a bit of obsessive-compulsive in me. For many months, everyday I had to devote about four hours piecing together up close snapshots of many topographical maps and later google maps to create this blog. I could say i literally spent tens of kilometers after kilometers assembling detailed maps and from the experience, I made many observations that I made posts of.
The gratifying moment came when Phivolcs and the NDRRMC maybe through an influential follower of my blog, I suspect, launched a media blitz with campaign to protect the welfare of students whose schools, and many they are, are in the path of fault lines. I knew my work became basis of this and I couldn’t help but feel that i had accomplished at least one of my life’s purpose.
i may just be accomplishing God’s will; but then again, maybe not. Only God knows.

SECRETS of the Marikina Valley Fault Line 
Thank you so much, what a big help and relief to find this. It is the closest I have come to our place in Pacita 2. You are exactly right, I have been searching for the path of the fault since the news erupted months ago and there is absolutely so little info. However, if you can please direct me to where the fault begins in San Pedro and Muntinlupa boundary to Binan- that’s where my house is- between those 2 areas. Salamat po.

it would help us both if you can give me the gps coordinates of your house. this site can help you get it:

“the effects of an earthquake could go as far as 1000 kms from the faultline. You do not have to stand directly above it to be affected”. Ok I think we just have to accept this.

Hello. This is our coordinates: Latitude – 14.342286, Longitude – 121.053604. Our place is quite near in calendola and GMA Cavite. The same po ba yung effect with the places identified under the fault line? Gaano kalaki po ba ang area from the fault line na maapektuhan ng lindol? Thank you so much! Really appreciate this blog and you finding time to answer to our queries. 🙂

when (not if) the west valley fault moves, the area affected will be so wide and pervasive it will have its effect virtually everywhere near and several hundreds of kilometers from the fault line. more than the crack on the ground, people have to worry more if the roof (and walls) above their heads will fall on them. as a first step, try consulting a licensed architect or structural/civil engineer for expert advice. maybe the next step would be retro-fitting the house or building structure, if feasible.
by the way, things have changed now. you will understand after reading my latest post here: https://tulisanes.wordpress.com/2013/11/16/menu/
