00:00 And following the eruption of Vulcan Canlaon, more than 800 La Castellana Negros Occidental were evacuated.
00:08 In La Carlota, there are people who are already scratching their skin and are affected by the smell of sulfur.
00:14 Aileen Pedrezo was live on Jimmy Regional TV 1 Western Visayas.
00:19 Aileen.
00:23 Vicky, because of the volcano's eruption, the city of Negros Oriental is now under State of Calamity.
00:32 Meanwhile, in Negros Occidental, the State of Calamity is waiting to declare the city of La Castellana.
00:43 The ashes of the volcano and the dead bodies are the reason Jimmy Regional TV 1 Western Visayas was evacuated from the area of La Carlota City, Negros Occidental.
00:54 One day after the eruption of Vulcan Canlaon, at 6.51pm,
00:59 a barangay area located in the 4km radius permanent danger zone of the volcano,
01:04 where 6 minutes of volcanic materials were released,
01:06 according to the residents, the ashes of the volcano are scattered on their skin and their nose is painful,
01:13 so most of it does not come out.
01:15 The husband of the barangay is more careful, he is also under dialysis.
01:19 The ashes are not just from the volcano, but from the room.
01:25 The top of the volcano is very high.
01:30 The effects of La Castellana, where we met Lola Wilna, are also felt.
01:34 She has been witnessing for more than 5 decades in the town the eruption of Vulcan Canlaon.
01:39 It was 12.00pm in 1969.
01:44 There was a truck that was carrying stones.
01:49 In the middle of the care, a prayer woman saved him.
01:54 I prayed to the saints.
01:58 The ashes were falling from the sky.
02:04 I was afraid that it would explode.
02:07 It is one of more than 800 evacuated from the municipality.
02:11 More than 10,000 families are living near the 4km radius permanent danger zone,
02:16 which is being evacuated.
02:18 Some of them were monitored and they are sick because of the ashes.
02:22 Some animals are also sick.
02:24 That is why MDRRMC recommended that the town should declare a state of calamity
02:29 to use the 4.8 million pesos calamity fund.
02:32 Of course, it is not right to wait.
02:35 It is impossible to wait.
02:37 We were advised last night that we should convene with the Darién Council
02:47 to declare a state of calamity.
02:50 Preparations are in full swing even though the volcano is calmer than last night.
02:54 According to the T-Vox volcano observatory,
02:58 the volcano could reach alert level 3.
03:01 It is possible but it depends on the data that is being distributed.
03:09 Alert level 3 is already high level.
03:14 It depends on the seismic signals and the high level.
03:20 Vicky, residents are being advised to avoid going out and to wear face masks.
03:30 The Jamaicapuso Foundation is here to provide food to 30 individuals
03:37 who are in the evacuation center.
03:39 This will continue tomorrow, Vicky.
03:41 Back to you, John.
03:43 Take care and thank you, Aileen Pedrezo of GMA Regional TV, One Western Visayas.
