00:00Dole assured that aid will be immediately allocated to those affected by the Canlaon Volcano.
00:06The DNR will also continue to monitor the air quality in areas near the volcano.
00:13This is Ephraim Gaitos of Radyo Pilipinas for Balitang Pambansa.
00:19The Department of Labor and Employment, or DOLE, will wait for the situation in Negros Island to be safe before providing aid.
00:27DOLE's priority is the safety of their workers who will carry out programs for the affected residents of the Canlaon Volcano eruption.
00:37Our regional personnel are monitored so that they can be accommodated.
00:44Once we are assured that everything is okay,
00:48we will not put our aid workers' lives in danger.
00:53And our fellow citizens in the area of Canlaon.
00:57DOLE will also provide assistance to our Disadvantaged Displaced Workers, or DDP,
01:05for clearing and cleaning operations in Negros Island.
01:08The Department of Environment and Natural Resources will daily provide updates on the air quality
01:15in areas near the Volcano Canlaon,
01:18in accordance with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s orders.
01:22According to the investigation, two ambient air quality monitoring stations
01:27were found to be unhealthy for a sensitive group of people in Region 6.
01:32This means that those with respiratory diseases need to be careful
01:36by limiting going out of their homes and wearing a face mask.
01:42We have registered two stations that are unhealthy for a sensitive group of people.
01:52This is our station in May, Aralal Station, and the other is in Balinasag, Bago City.
02:03So there are two stations where the air quality is unhealthy as far as the PM10 results.
02:16Currently, the DENR is continuing to contact the affected government agencies
02:22such as the Department of Health and local governments
02:25to ensure the safety and well-being of residents from the eruption of the Volcano Canlaon.
