Damage to Structures from Lahars Church in Porac buried by avulsing lahars from the Pasig River. Thickness of lahar deposit is approximately 4 meters. A large,
secondary explosion occurred on October 6, 1993, and as a result, a
large, secondary pyroclastic flow was directed towards the Pasig River. The event caused the capturing of the entire upper Sacobia catchment by the Pasig River, and caused a major shift in lahar delivery from the Sacobia to the Pasig River.
