A powerful earthquake struck the Philippines last week, collapsing homes and killing residents, including the wife and two children of Roldan Dante in Glan, Sarangani province. As rescue efforts continue, officials and experts warn that the country remains unprepared for the anticipated 'Big One'—a major earthquake along the West Valley Fault that could devastate Metro Manila. The disaster has reignited calls for stricter building codes and better disaster preparedness across the archipelago.
