Trying not to sound so atheist but ... what makes the Filipino people so much more "special" that God would "spare" calamity from a certain group over another? Wouldn't that make God "prejudiced"? Since God is supposed to love all his "people" with equality... shouldn't we be in the firing line just like the rest of his creations?

And honestly, this is not a religion discussion so best to keep it to topic and keep religion out of this thread.

So you just prefer to think the senario in "Day After Tomorrow" would be the way the world "ends"?

Snow cones for everyone!!

it's plate tectonics

it has nothing to do with supernatural beings

the Earth is forever unstable, forever changing

geologic, atmospheric, the occasional large asteroid impacts

we're lucky there's this relatively benign period that allowed us humans to flourish

there have been a number of mass extinction events in the past

no reason why another mass extinction event cannot happen again

Here's a detail of the fault line:

How stupid does Norberto Gonzales sound saying "there is no 100% preparation for a major earthquake..."? How about the government just being prepared for an earthquake? If the big one hit it Manila would be like San Francisco with the 1906 earthquake, except instead of fire you would have a lot of building collapse. Just look at what they showed on the video, cement walls cracked and no evidence of rebar in the cement wall for reinforcement, houses built on top of the fault line, and to top it all the biggest mall built in a reclamation area where you'll have soil liquefaction as the ground below it settles from the shaking of the earthquake.

Lets just pray that when it happens we're not in the wrong place at the wrong time...

We have all the time to prepare but when do we start?

I hope you guys are starting to figure out your emergency plan specially on your homes..

Yung MOA lulubog ba sa dagat kung lumindol ng 7.2? I read it in tsikot before that MOA had lots of crack and water seepages before it was rectified. The cracked low-cost goverment provided housing isn't the only one built along the fault line. I think Eastwood, Ortigas Center and Valle Verde Subdivisions are also built on top/near the fault line. If the buildings in Baguio were a measure of the buildings in Manila when it bore the brunt of a 7.7 earthquake, nakakatakot yung resulting damage talaga...
