		Coastal areas of Baler in Aurora province, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union and Manila Bay are tsunami-prone because of the Manila Trench; Palawan is susceptible to killer waves because of the Manila and Negros trenches.
		Among the trenches that may bring killer waves to the Philippines is the Marianas Trench, which is considered to be the deepest spot in the world.

	Manila Trench - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Manila Trench is an ocean trench in the South China Sea, west of the Philippines.
		It is created by subduction, in which the Eurasian Plate is slipping underneath the Philippine Plate.
		The Manila Trench is associated with frequent earthquakes, and the plate movements which give rise to it are also responsible for the arc of volcanoes on the west side of the Philippine island of Luzon, including Mount Pinatubo.

		As a result, the islands are bounded by trenches, laced with faults, and are rife with seismic stress; earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common events.
		The western subduction zone, called the Manila trench, occurs where the microplate meets the South China Sea plate.
		As a result, subduction along the western zone (the Manila Trench) is slowing and eventually will stop.

		MANILA -- Two moderate earthquakes rocked the Philippines early Monday, but no damage or injuries were reported, seismologists said.
		The two earthquakes were not powerful enough to cause tsunamis and were not linked to Sunday's undersea Asian earthquake of epic power that sent huge deadly walls of water crashing down on beaches in eight countries, killing more than 20,000 people.
		The quake, caused by the movement of the Manila Trench, had a preliminary magnitude of 4.7, Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology research specialist Ric Mangao said.

		Parts of the city, including the coastal areas along Manila Bay and the Pasig River delta, are more vulnerable to liquefaction than elsewhere because they sit on soft sediment instead of more stable volcanic rock, he added.

		A study conducted in Metro Manila in 1975 to 1978 (Isidro-Valeroso and Monteverde, 1992) on the diurnal variations of the concentrations of atmospheric pollutants showed two types of concentration variations exhibited by the pollutants depending whether these are photochemically reactive (NO2, S O2, HC, and Ox) or non-photochemically reactive (CO and particulate matter).
		For Pateros, flooding is also affected by the behavior of Manila Bay and Laguna Bay that may result to backwash of the Pasig River and Pateros River during heavy rains and typhoons.

		East of Sumba, convergence is distributed over the back arc and Banda Sea, and there is no subduction at the Timor Trough, suggesting that the northern boundary of the AU plate runs north of this part of the Banda arc through the Banda Sea.
		Philippine Sea plate motion is in a direction slightly northward of the NUVEL-1A estimate and is partitioned in some strike-slip strain rates along the Philippine Fault and relatively larger trench-normal convergence along the Philippine Trench and on the Philippine mainland in the southern Philippines and along the Manila Trench in the northern Philippine islands.
		The high level of strain rate along the Manila Trench is not released by any significant (historic) seismic activity.

		Taiwan is located at the junction of the Manila and Ryukyu Trench in the Western Philippine Sea where the Philippine plate is being forced under the Eurasia plate.
		The Philippine plate is moving in a northwest direction which causes a significant strike-slip component along the northern portion of the Manila Trench and essentially creates a "transpressional" effect which has popped up the island of Taiwan microplate relative to its larger tectonic neighbors.
		The Jiji earthquake appears to have occurred along the complex western fault zone which is associated with the Manila Trench.

		To the east of Taiwan, the Philippine Sea plate is subducting beneath the Ryukyu island arc, and to the south of Taiwan, the Philippine Sea plate is overriding the Eurasian plate along the Manila trench (Figure 2).
		Thus, relative to the Asiatic plate, the Manila trench is moving concomitantly westward with time.
		The Philippine trench appears to be propagating northward (Lewis and Hayes, 1983).

		The Magnitude 7.2 earthquake in Metro Manila is not a prediction but a SCENARIO that is useful for urban planning and formulation of disaster mitigation strategies.
		The estimates of damage and casualties are based on empirical observations worldwide, considering population, number of buildings, construction practices, etc. They are very rough estimates, but they do indicate what we've expected all along: damage and casualty CAN be very high, especially considering that the metropolis is host to 14 million people.
		In support of MMEIRS, the Metro Manila Council has adopted a resolution “declaring the commitment to make Metro Manila seismically safe, and establishing the mutual aid agreement among the local government units of Metro Manila in the event of disasters”.
