SPECIAL ON SATURDAY: No technology exists that can predict the exact date, time, or location of an earthquake, PHIVOLCS Director Teresito Bacolcol said Saturday, stressing that preparedness remains the only reliable defense against seismic disasters.
Bacolcol told DZRH News that while science can offer estimates—such as the West Valley Fault potentially moving anywhere between 2058 and 2258—exact prediction remains beyond current capability.
The statement came days after the June 8 magnitude 7.8 Mindanao earthquake, which has since generated 4,554 aftershocks and left at least 46 dead, 688 injured, and 38 missing.
