In a letter to Mayor Edgardo Labella dated November 29, 2019, the DOST said they would need a Visayas Seismic Cluster for the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology that would serve as the institute’s alternative center in the event that the information centers in Manila and Davao City would be compromised.
The DOST is considering a 600-square meter lot in mountain Barangay Taptap, Cebu City for the seismic center as they already received funds for the establishment of a PVSC. The PVSC will be funded and maintained solely by the DOST for the next 25 years while the lot will remain to be the property of Cebu City. The contract is also renewable in 25 years.
