Original Note:
There is always a chance for quakes in places like the Philippines, but there's no scientific basis for specific predictions like this. There are no faults on earth large enough to produce a magnitude 10 quake. "Plate blocking" is not a recognized scientific concept. 1. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/can-you-predict-earthquakes 2. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/can-megaquakes-really-happen-a-magnitude-10-or-larger
