00:00The task force called for a mandatory evacuation of those inside the 6-kilometer danger zone of the volcano.
00:07This was followed by the eruption of a thick and dark cloud yesterday, which reached up to 2 kilometers high.
00:15The FEEBOX also issued a warning that the volcano could escalate to alert level 4.
00:20The LGUs have already prepared their contingency plans for the worst-case scenario.
00:26The DSWD continues to distribute aid to the affected families in Cannon City.
00:31As of December 22, more than 7,000 residents are in the evacuation center in Luzon.
00:37The Office of Civil Defense also ensured that the government continues to remind those affected by the eruption of the volcano,
00:45especially those who are affected by the volcano.
00:50Our national government is already helping.
00:52As a matter of fact, last Friday, President Marcos provided assistance.
01:01He provided P30 million for Cannaon City and P30 million for Negros Oriental, the province of Negros Oriental, for Cannaon City.
01:13And here in Negros Occidental, we continue to provide assistance.
01:17This is not enough for a city like Cannaon City, which really relies on agriculture and cannot grow crops.
01:29We really need to intervene.
01:32We will bring the OCD to the national government.
