Answer
Yes, the Philippine Fault Zone or segments of it can trigger tsunamis, particularly in relation to the "Big One." The fault is capable of producing large earthquakes that can generate tsunamis, and the Philippine archipelago is located in an area of high seismic activity, making it more likely for a tsunami to occur.
