00:00Residents in the area of the Mayon Volcano are being careful of the lahar flow caused by the Christine Tsunami.
00:07This is Nancy Mediavillio of Radyo Pilipinas, Albay.
00:13Nancy?
00:16As the Tropical Depression Christine entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility,
00:21the Tropical Wind Signal No. 1 has now been elevated, especially in Catanduanes.
00:26The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology,
00:31which is responsible for the lahar flow,
00:34is again reminding the Philippine River Channels around the Mayon Volcano
00:37that there are more than 50 million cubic meters of deposits in these areas
00:43due to the last eruption of the volcano.
00:46According to Dr. Paul Alanis, PBOX resident volcanologist,
00:50the material deposits can be found in the river channels in this southern portion
00:56of the province of Ginabatan, Kamalit, Caragaligaspi, and Santo Domingo.
01:00The official said that there is a high risk in these areas
01:04if there is a strong rain due to the bad weather.
01:08The largest river channel in the south of Santo Domingo, Albay,
01:13is the first district of Laloigan.
01:16Now, there is a gradual erosion, even though the level of water is still low.
01:22The entire body of the volcano is not visible due to the bad weather in Laloigan
01:28due to the quake.
01:30From Radio Pilipinas, Albay, Nancy Mediavillio for Balitang Pambansa.
01:36Thank you very much, Nancy Mediavillio of Radio Pilipinas, Albay.
