The West Valley Fault line doesn't need to be an enigma to you, especially if you're a resident or working in Pasig City.

Here are 10 important things that you need to know about the fault line that's also known to traverse Quezon City, Marikina City, Makati City, Taguig and Muntinlupa in Metro Manila:

4. It is believed to generate big quakes every 400 to 600 years.
5. The affected areas are due for a big quake 41 years from now. However, one can happen anytime soon.
6. Phivolcs warned that buildings should not be built on top of active faults or within a 5-meter buffer zone on either side of the fault.
7. Buildings that violate this rule are likely to collapse due to the rupturing of the ground when the fault line moves again.
