The station is part of the Philippine Strong Motion Network (PSMNet), which is one of the key earthquake monitoring networks in the Philippines.
Science and Technology Undersecretary and Phivolcs OIC Renato Solidum said the Tanay strong motion station is equipped with accelerographs that have been strategically located in densely populated areas and near active faults.
“These instruments are capable of faithfully recording large ground motion during high-magnitude earthquake events,” Solidum said.
He pointed out that data gathered from the PSMNet can be used to provide critical information about the earthquake rupture process; understand the generation and propagation of seismic waves near the source; characterize the type of materials underneath the soil; provide information about site effect and response; and determine the ground motion effects to buildings and ground failure such as landslides and liquefaction.

Citing Taal Volcano’s eruption history, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) on Wednesday, Feb. 17, urged the public to remain vigilant as the threat of an eruption remains a possibility even just a year after its major explosion in 2020.

This is similar to what happened when the volcano had a major eruption in 1965, said Science and Technology Undersecretary and Phivolcs Director Renato Solidum
“Gusto ko lang i-remind ang ating mga kababayan na ang iba nag-iisip na kapag ang bulkan ay sumabog mga taon na ulit ang bibilangin bago ito sumabog uli. (I just want to remind our countrymen because others think that when a volcano erupts it will take years before it erupts again),” Solidum said during the Laging Handa public briefing on Wednesday, Feb. 17.
