THE Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has recommended against constructing any buildings directly over the Bogo Bay fault, which was recently discovered in Sitio Looc, Barangay Nailon.
This recommendation is based on the potential risks associated with building on or near an active fault line, which could significantly increase the vulnerability of structures to earthquake damage.
Phivolcs emphasized the importance of adhering to this recommendation to ensure the safety of residents and prevent potential disasters.
Building codes and regulations should be strictly enforced in the area to avoid any construction that could compromise the stability of structures and endanger lives.
Further studies and assessments may be conducted to better understand the characteristics of the Bogo Bay fault and to provide more specific guidance on safe construction practices in the surrounding areas.
