The Marikina Valley fault system, also known as the Valley fault system (VFS), is a dominantly right-lateral strike-slip fault system in Luzon, Philippines. [2] It extends from Doña Remedios Trinidad, Bulacan in the north, running through the provinces of Rizal, the Metro Manila cities of Quezon, Marikina, Pasig, Taguig and Muntinlupa, and the provinces of Cavite and Laguna, before ending in ...
The Philippine fault system is a major inter-related system of geological faults throughout the whole of the Philippine Archipelago, [1] primarily caused by tectonic forces compressing the Philippines into what geophysicists call the Philippine Mobile Belt. [2] Some notable Philippine faults include the Guinayangan, Masbate and Leyte faults.
The Macolod Corridor is an important geological feature for several reasons. First, it is a zone of active volcanism, which poses a significant hazard to the surrounding population. Second, the corridor is located at the junction of several tectonic elements, which makes it an ideal place to study the tectonic processes that affect the Philippines.

Circumferential Road 5 (C-5), informally known as the C-5 Road, is a network of roads and bridges which comprise the fifth beltway of Metro Manila in the Philippines. [2] Spanning some 43.87 kilometers (27.26 mi), it connects the cities of Las Piñas , Parañaque , Pasay , Pasig , Quezon City , Taguig , and Valenzuela .
The west segment of the Marikina Valley Fault System, the West Valley Fault (WVF) cuts through parts of Muntinlupa [29] and moves in a predominantly dextral strike-slip motion. [30] The West Valley Fault is capable of producing large scale earthquakes on its active phases with a magnitude of 7 or higher. [29]
