00:00More than 10,000 tons of ash fell on Vulcan Canlaon in the past 24 hours.
00:06According to PIVOX, the volcano is covered by thick clouds so the smoke is not visible.
00:1217 volcanic earthquakes were also recorded yesterday.
00:16Residents are advised to be alert for sudden explosions of steam or phreatic explosions of the volcano.
00:23As of now, Vulcan Canlaon is still at Alert Level 2.
00:26Entry to the 4-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone and flying an airplane near the volcano is prohibited.
00:36Because of the ongoing activity of Vulcan Canlaon and the bad weather,
00:40residents living near the volcano have been evacuated.
00:44Here is the detail on the spot of Aileen Pedrezo of Jimmy Regional TV.
00:50Aileen?
00:52Despite the bad weather, several barangays in La Casillana, Negros Occidental,
00:58have started evacuating their residents.
01:03Some residents in the 4- to 6-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone of Vulcan Canlaon
01:10have been evacuated by La Casillana LGU.
01:14This is despite the bad weather.
01:19Just like in Barangay Biak na Bato,
01:21evacuations are being carried out to the residents living near the volcano.
01:27It is better to carry out the evacuation earlier
01:30for the safety of the residents due to the possible eruption of Mount Canlaon.
01:36The barangay is preparing to evacuate at least 30 families
01:40to be brought to the evacuation center in the town.
01:43La Casillana LGU is also advising the residents,
01:47particularly senior citizens and volunteers, to evacuate first.
01:51Food and non-food items are prepared for those who will be evacuated.
01:55Until now, classes are still suspended in all areas of the town.
01:59Mount Canlaon remains on alert level 2
02:02despite the ongoing activity that it is showing.
02:06According to PHIVOX,
02:08the flood with sulfur debris that was collected when the volcano erupted last June
02:12is due to the rain.
02:15Because the volcano is still covered by thick clouds,
02:20the smoke it emits is not visible.
02:23Despite the ongoing activity of the volcano,
02:26PHIVOX clarified that there is no eruption or minor eruption
02:33in the volcano based on their monitoring.
02:36Thank you, Connie.
02:37Thank you very much.
02:38Be careful, Aileen Pedreso of GMA Regional TV.
