00:00In the continuation of our news, aside from the possibility of volcano Canlaon erupting again,
00:06the local government is also monitoring the possible lahar flow if there is a strong rain.
00:13This is Jesse Atienza in the report.
00:18You can see in the vast area of Moises Padilla, the size of volcano Canlaon.
00:24To be honest, its distance from the town is far.
00:30We are passing by a river whose color has changed.
00:34This is the white water flowing here in the river of Barangay Ginpanaan in the town of Moises Padilla.
00:42Although this is not what most people see, this is what gives life to some of our fellowmen.
00:50On the side of the river, Manong Prudencio and his companions are taking a break.
00:54They are not here to relax.
00:57They are here to work.
00:59They are hauling sand that has a mixed layer at the bottom and sifting it to remove the rocks.
01:06We mix the sand to make a mixture.
01:11We also mix the sand with cement.
01:16Yes, it is stronger and we can save on cement.
01:20It is a blessing for them and they are hoping to get more.
01:26This is a relief for the MDRRMO of the town of La Castellana
01:31because they are currently monitoring the sudden heavy rains.
01:35Because of the possibility of lahar flow that could hit a large part of the town
01:41including the evacuation centers that are being evacuated.
01:44All of them have been evacuated because we are here in Mayanoy, in May Poblacion.
01:49Wherein, the risk of lahar is here compared to the pyroclastic above.
01:55So not only the LGU of La Castellana, also the nearby LGU of La Carlota, Bago City.
02:04We are in a large river basin.
02:07And then Isabela, the next LGU, and Binalbagan.
02:14So we are in a total of roughly more than 100,000.
02:20According to the Office of Civil Defense,
02:23there are 3 million cubic meters of lahar buildup in the volcano that needs to be activated.
02:29One of the plans is to open a tent city in the town of Ponte Vedra
02:34where all of the evacuees of La Castellana will be evacuated.
02:38Meanwhile, the volcano Canglaon erupted again at 4 p.m. on Monday afternoon.
02:46The siren was sounded as a warning for the possible eruption of the volcano.
