In the drive to make Marikina a solid middle-class city, it is possible that City officials are not noticing or understanding some aspects of the lives of the poor who in some ways may be further victimized by the process.

 Marikina fault
C data from exposures across the northern part of the west Marikina Valley fault indicate a recurrence interval of 200-400 years for magnitude 6-7 earthquakes on the fault.

The ~30-km-long northern half of the west Marikina Valley fault, whose trace is marked by young, fault-related landforms, corresponds with earthquakes of this size.
