With some portions of Quezon City transected by the West Valley Fault, outgoing Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista directed city building officials to assess anew the structural integrity of the city’s government offices.
He issued the order to ensure that all the city’s structures are disaster resilient.
Bautista said that the Quezon City Hall high-rise building, which was built in the 1960s, and the legislative building, has periodically undergone retrofitting methods. “Under our ordinance, establishments should conduct earthquake drills twice a year. That’s mandatory and no establishment is exempted. Schools, business establishments, residential areas, markets, places of worship, health care facilities, and local government offices are all required to do the drill,” Belmonte said.
