Metro Manila urged to prepare for big quake
MANILA, Philippines —The “big quake” feared to hit Metro Manila could happen anytime.
This may be a doomsday prediction, but Arjun Kartoch, head of the Emergency Services Branch of the United Nation’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, is the bringer of bad news this time, a decade after it was first predicted by seismic experts.
He re-issued the warning that an earthquake with a magnitude of about 7 to 8 on the Richter scale would hit the nation's capital region.
