00:00The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is now evaluating the effect of the ash fall
00:05from the eruption of Vulcan Canlaon.
00:08This is what Gav Deliega reported.
00:12The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is now evaluating the effect of the ash fall of Vulcan Canlaon on the communities.
00:19According to DNR Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Layzaga,
00:23many components are being looked at when it comes to the abong ibinagsak.
00:26The agency, the National Aeronautic Space Administration or NASA of the United States,
00:32the Manila Observatory and the Korean Space Agency, and others are all involved in assessing the air quality.
00:37Based on the latest satellite image obtained by the Manila Observatory from Korean counterparts,
00:43ash has reached Panay Island that was washed by Canlaon.
00:47There is also a hint that the ash of the volcano will be affected by the low tide
00:51and the water will also become acidic when it falls due to the sulfur dioxide.
00:56It is necessary to properly treat the water in the areas where ash falls from Canlaon.
01:03DNR is also directly coordinating with the Office of Civil Defense
01:07when it comes to the quality of water in the communities affected by the ash fall.
01:11DNR is also evaluating the number of abong ibinagsak
01:15to find out how long it will take for a place to recover from the ash fall.
01:19On the other hand, it is advisable to avoid the eruption of a volcano
01:24such as lowering the temperature and lowering the soil.
01:28But it takes a long time to see the good effect of it.
01:32For example, this is the fertile soil in the National Capital Region and Calabarzon
01:37where the Taal Volcano and Laguna Caldera in Laguna Dibay can be found.
01:42DNR is also reminding communities affected by the eruption of Volcano Canlaon
01:47to monitor the quality of water and to continue wearing face masks.
