a Tectonic setting of the Philippine archipelago showing surrounding subduction zones. b Focal mechanism solutions (FMS) (1976–2017) show generally shallow fault activities related to structures along the Manila Trench and onland segments of the Philippine Fault (Tsutsumi and Perez 2013; Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) 2015). Reported active faults are shown in red. FMS data are from the Global Centroid Moment Tensor (GCMT) catalog. c Tsunami events in west Luzon Island have often been associated with Ms6 to Ms7 earthquakes along the Manila Trench. Tsunamigenic earthquakes that affected west Luzon are shown in Table 4 with their probability ranking and maximum wave height (Bautista et al. 2012)
