The Philippines is sandwiched between two oppositely dipping subduction zones

The Philippine island arc is built on oceanic crust which was modified by several episodes of magmatism

Age of collision

“The Palawan Microcontinental block, which was rifted from Mainland Asia started to collide with the Philippine Mobile Belt during Early to Middle Miocene”

{Yumul et al., 2003 and reference therein}

“Paleomagnetic reconstructions show that the Palawan microcontinental Block-Philippine Mobile Belt collision occurred in the Late Miocene, somewhat later than is commonly envisaged”

{Queano et al., 2007}

Ar-Ar hornblende ages suggest the time of intrusion of the diorite bodies in the area – ~84 Ma in the eastern part and ~30 Ma in the western partTectonic activity is recorded by the zircon FT and Ar-Ar system over a temperature range of ~250° C to ~500° C around 17-20 Ma This may be inferred as the time of collision of the microcontinent with the mobile belt

We interpret the last stage of cooling recorded by the fission track system as representing the timing of later successive events/soft collisions ranging from 9-13 Ma In the western coast of the island, apatite ages show partial resetting and zircon ages are unaffected by the tectonic event being away from the suture zone
