Bulacan gov warns against ‘The Big One’

Local government units (LGUs) in Bulacan province were warned not to be confident with their regular earthquake drills and should also consider more devastating danger should the “The Big One” happens.

Governor Wilhelmino Sy-Alvarado on Sunday said while he does not want to picture a grim scenario, authorities should not overlook the massive devastation that could happen if a magnitude 7.2 earthquake or the The Big One jolts the west valley fault line that could break the aging Angat dam, which according to experts is nestling within the fault line and is located in one of the most steepest mountain slopes in the world.
