00:00
The Philippine contingent is ready to be sent to Myanmar to assist in the humanitarian and disaster response
00:06
following the strong earthquake there.
00:08
That's what Rod Lagusan reported.
00:12
Tomorrow, April 1, the Philippine contingent team left for Myanmar.
00:18
This is to assist in the ongoing rescue operation following the magnitude 7.7 earthquake.
00:24
According to the Office of the Civil Defense,
00:26
90 personnel from various agencies, such as the Philippine Army, Philippine Air Force, BFP, MMDA,
00:32
DOH, and the private sector will be sent.
00:35
Some of these will be the first to be sent to the earthquake-stricken Turkey.
00:39
Our main mission there is to help in finding possible survivors,
00:46
in the structures that are collapsing.
00:50
We will also provide medical assistance to the victims of the strong earthquake.
01:00
Ten of them are from the 525th Combat Engineer Battalion of the Philippine Army.
01:05
They are specialized in collapse structure search and rescue.
01:09
That's why they were chosen to be sent to Myanmar.
01:12
Before taking action, the area must be assessed properly.
01:17
Our colleagues are well-trained.
01:21
They know how to shore and how to properly move debris
01:26
to avoid further collapse of the structures.
01:32
They brought various equipment to assist in the rescue operation,
01:36
such as a hydraulic cutter for cutting steel,
01:39
a snake-eye camera to see the situation inside the debris,
01:43
and a listening device to detect voices or movements.
01:47
The country's contingent will stay in Myanmar until April 12.
01:51
Meanwhile, here in the Philippines, according to PHEVOX,
01:54
the West Valley Fault that last erupted in 1658 is now submerged
01:57
and the so-called The Big One is possible to erupt,
02:00
which can reach a magnitude 7.2 earthquake.
02:04
Based on the Metro Manila Earthquake Impact Reduction Study
02:07
conducted by PHEVOX, MMDA, and JICA in 2004,
02:11
The casualties will reach 33,500 and the injured will go as high as 113,000.
02:19
Our casualties will increase if not all of our injured are treated,
02:26
it will reach 100,000 and there are additional deaths by fire,
02:30
it will reach 18,000.
02:31
Yes, that's right, around 51,000.
02:33
That's in Metro Manila alone.
02:35
In 2016, the Metro Manila provinces had a new earthquake together.
02:41
From 33,000, it will reach 48,000 during rush hour.
02:46
The OCD prioritizes the possibility of conducting a new study
02:51
with JICA in 2026 or 2027.
02:55
Aside from this, the Philippine Fault in Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija
02:58
that can generate a magnitude 7.9 earthquake
03:01
while a magnitude 8 earthquake can generate a magnitude 8 earthquake.
03:06
It can be felt in NCR, especially in high-rise buildings
03:10
just like what happened in Bangkok, Thailand
03:12
that even though it's far from Mandalay, Myanmar,
03:14
it can be felt.
03:15
This is because of the so-called long-period resonance.
03:18
While in Metro Manila, there can be a magnitude 8.2 earthquake
03:22
that can cause a 3.5-meter tsunami wave
03:26
and an additional 2 meters if there's a high tide
03:29
and it can reach more than 2 kilometers.
03:32
Aside from this, there can be a tsunami wave in the northern part of the country
03:35
if there's a strong tsunami wave in the Pacific Ocean
03:38
just like what happened in Chile or Alaska.
03:41
We cannot be 100% prepared but as I've mentioned,
03:44
we are now more prepared than several decades ago.
03:49
But there are still challenges that we need to handle
03:52
and we're on our way.
03:54
For example, the infrastructure vulnerability.
03:58
So some older buildings, roads, bridges,
04:01
and other critical infrastructures in Metro Manila
04:03
may not be earthquake-resistant.
04:05
Retrofitting and reinforcing buildings are important
04:08
and this is what our government is doing.
04:11
Also included in the population density,
04:13
how the evacuation and emergency response will proceed.
