If the earthquake originates from the Manila Trench (a fault line that runs off western Luzon, from Ilocos to Mindoro), a tsunami 2 meters to 4 meters high may hit the Manila Bay area one hour after. The Old Manila area—including low areas with elevation less than 4 meters such as that in Malacañang and Pandacan—will be hit. –Manila Times

I was listening yesterday to a radio interview where they discussed about the possibility of a tsunami hitting Manila. They say it’s possible and could cause a lot of damage and that we are not prepared for such kind of event. Then I remembered this photo of UST’s attempt to create the largest human cross. It didn’t only showed the largest human cross, it also showed just how far we are from the Manila bay. It’s not that far guys. :o
