PH now more prepared for 'Big One'

(UPDATE) THE chief of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) on Tuesday said the country is now more prepared in case the 'Big One' occurs owing to the people's awareness gained from the government's regular earthquake drills, among others.

'We are more prepared now than say 20 or so years ago,' Phivolcs Director Teresito 'Toto' Bacolcol declared.
