00:00It reached different parts of Negros Occidental,
00:04where the volcano Kanlaon erupted after its explosive eruption.
00:10The latest update on this was broadcast live by June Veneracion, June.
00:19Mel, following the explosive eruption of the Kanlaon volcano,
00:22FIVOX recommended evacuating the residents living around it.
00:28FIVOX recommended evacuating 15 barangays within the 6-kilometer danger zone.
00:35This was done because it was feared that the eruption of the volcano Kanlaon
00:40might be followed by a stronger eruption earlier this afternoon.
00:45It was reported that the volcano Kanlaon erupted for three minutes.
00:48The eruption reached places like Bagu City, Murcia, and La Carlota City in Negros Occidental.
00:56The PDC, or Pyroclastic Density Current, reached more than 3 kilometers,
01:02which is considered the most dangerous effect of the eruption.
01:05The PDC mixes hot ash, rocks, and gas,
01:09which is very fast when it flows from the volcano's mouth.
01:13Communities were also prepared for a possible flood
01:17if there was a strong rain.
01:20The explosion that happened earlier was said to be similar to the eruption of June this year,
01:25but it was stronger.
01:26Here is the next statement of FIVOX officials.
01:3230 to 60 kilometers per hour.
01:35There are PDCs that are very fast.
01:38We can't run through the PDC.
01:41So we really need to avoid it.
01:45That's our safety measure.
01:47We just want to remind our fellow citizens living around the Kanlaon volcano
01:51that they should be vigilant and they should always be prepared
01:54in case the activity escalates.
01:56And we will raise the alert level from alert level 3 to alert level 4.
02:05And that's the latest from the briefing here at FIVOX.
02:09Back to Mel.
02:11Thank you very much, June.
02:13Good afternoon.
