The earthquake in Luzon occurred on Monday, July 16, 1990, in the Philippines was the most destructive earthquake in the history of Philippines. The densely populated isle of Luzon was hit by an earthquake with a 7.8 Ms (surface-wave magnitude). The earthquake made a 125 km-long ground rupture that extended from Dingalan, Aurora to Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija as a outcome of hit fall movements along the Philippine Fault and the Digdig Fault inside the Philippine Fault System. The earthquake epicenter was put at 15° 42' N and 121° 7' E beside the village of Rizal, Nueva Ecija, northeast of Cabanatuan City.
An approximated 1,621 persons were slain in the earthquake, most of the fatalities established in Central Luzon and the Cordillera region. The earthquake initiated impairment inside in an locality of about 20,000 rectangle kilometers, extending from the hills of the Cordillera Administrative Region and through the Central Luzon region. The earthquake was powerfully sensed in Metropolitan Manila, Destroying numerous structures and premier to fright and stampedes and finally three killings in the National Capital Region, one of the smallest fatalities noted in the awaken of the tremor. The Southern Tagalog (nowadays Regions 4A and 4B) and Bicol Regions furthermore sensed the quake, but with reduced casualty figures. Outside of Baguio, decimation tended to be more diffuse. Damage was initiated by landslides in the hills and resolving in seaboard areas.
