The Philippine region is seismically active and has been progressively constructed by plates converging towards each other in multiple directions. [1] The region is also known as the Philippine Mobile Belt due to its complex tectonic setting.
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.
