00:00The volcanic eruption of Canlaonong, June is still rising.
00:07But now, the farmers in Canlaon City, Negros Oriental, are affected by the volcanic eruption again.
00:15That's why we came back to help under the Operation Bayanihan of the GMA Kapusa Foundation.
00:22The vegetable basket of Negros Island, Canlaong City, was destroyed.
00:29This is the main source of rain in the area and in the nearby regions.
00:34But after the volcano erupted, the farmers were able to harvest again.
00:39They were able to fill their fields with rain.
00:42Now, ma'am, there's a low rate of rain.
00:47Our vegetables were destroyed because of the eruption and the volcanic eruption.
00:52The vegetable farmers, like Roslyn, are facing a lot of problems.
00:56The vegetables that were harvested by the people of Cebuyas, can no longer be sold.
01:00It's turning yellow, ma'am.
01:02It's destroyed, ma'am.
01:05It's broken.
01:08It's no longer in good condition.
01:10It's because of the rain and the wind.
01:13It can no longer be sold because it's rotten.
01:16And because they live in a 4-kilometer dangerous zone, they were forced to flee.
01:21So now, we don't have a livelihood.
01:24If there's no help, we'll starve.
01:27Under the Operation Bayanihan of the GMA Kapusa Foundation,
01:31which is the 63rd Infantry Battalion of the Filipino Army,
01:34we went to Canlaong City to distribute food to the families who are now staying at the evacuation center.
01:41And their continued call...
01:43I hope that someone will help us so that we can have a home.
01:47Because we don't have a livelihood now.
01:51Because the crops in the fields are rotting and getting destroyed.
01:55We will also help the evacuees in the town of Castiliana.
