“THE ROARING EARTH”
The July 16, 1990 earthquake produced a 125-km long ground rupture that stretches from Dingalan, Aurora to
Kayapa, Nueva Viscaya as a result of strike-slip movements along the North-West segment of the Philippine Fault
Zone and the Digdig Fault. The earthquake epicenter was near the town of Rizal, Nueva Ecija. Damage to
buildings, infrastructures, and properties amounted to at least PhP 10 Billion, a part of which was caused by ground
rupturing.
