The Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill, organised by the Southeast Asian country's Office of Civil Defense, aims to brace the population with better coordination, preparedness and resilience for a potential devastating earthquake along the West Valley Fault, amid recorded rising seismic activities and volcanic unrest.

This comes just days after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake killed more than 60 people, injured hundreds and affected tens of thousands people in the Mindanao region, Southern Philippines.
