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.
