00:00To find out what the Office of the Civil Defense is up to regarding the eruption of Vulcan Canlaon,

00:06we will talk to OCD Region 6 Director Raul Hernandez on the phone line.

00:12Good afternoon, Director Hernandez. This is Princess and Alan Francisco of Balitang Pambansak.

00:20Good afternoon, Princess and Sir Alan and all the viewers of your program, Balitang Pambansak.

00:29Director Hernandez, how is the action we are taking regarding what is happening in your area

00:35so that it will be far away from our countrymen who were affected by the eruption of Vulcan Canlaon?

00:42What is our update on the assessment in your area?

00:46So now, we are continuing to assess. Actually, we are assisting our LGOs,

00:55especially Castiliana, who was hit by the eruption of Vulcan Canlaon.

01:03We have many evacuees here. Right now, Secretary Gatsalian is also here.

01:11We are also assessing the situation of our evacuees here.

01:18Under the instruction of Secretary Chudoro,

01:21we are forming a task force of Vulcan Canlaon and inter-agency coordinating cell

01:30to be effective and efficient in our response to the eruption of Vulcan Canlaon.

01:37Director, the residents in the six-kilometer danger zone,

01:42have all the precautions that they should consider been taken care of?

01:49Yes. Actually, we have evacuated the majority of our countrymen who are inside the six-kilometer danger zone.

01:59There are only a few remaining because we are still lacking an evacuation center.

02:07So now, our focus is on how we can evacuate our countrymen who are still inside the six-kilometer danger zone.

02:16What about the other residents who are still not evacuating or do not want to evacuate?

02:21What should we talk to them about?

02:24There is an ash fall happening right now in your area.

02:29So now, we are continuing to talk to them so that it is for their own good.

02:34We are also talking to them so that other lives will not be affected

02:39because our responders will not stop until they see our countrymen being evacuated.

02:49So if they do not leave, the lives of other people will be put in danger,

02:55especially our responders.

02:59Regarding the six-kilometer danger zone, how prepared is the OCD for this?

03:12Right now, we are not prepared.

03:14If the six-kilometer danger zone expands,

03:22we already have initial plans for that.

03:26We already have people who are willing to adopt evacuees from affected areas.

03:33For example, Himamaylan is willing to adopt evacuees.

03:40So we just need to prepare how we can sustain the needs of our evacuees.

03:51Right now, do you have enough assets to help the affected residents in your area?

03:59Yes. Right now, we still have enough.

04:01We still have enough food and non-food items.

04:08But if it continues for a long time, our resources might be depleted.

04:12So that is what our central office is planning right now,

04:17our national office, on how we can meet the needs for a long time.

04:24Thank you very much, Director Hernandez.

04:26Maybe this is just a message for our countrymen.

04:31Yes, to our countrymen, especially those who are still inside,

04:36who were affected by the eruption of Mt. Calaon,

04:42we are talking to you, we are just cooperating.

04:45We are just listening to the advice, reminders and orders

04:50of our superiors.

04:53If we need to evacuate, we will evacuate.

04:56Our government is ready to meet your needs.

05:01Thank you very much, Director Hernandez of OCD Region 6.
