00:00At the moment, volcano Canlaon is at alert level 3, but it can still be elevated to level 4 due to the continuous eruption of the volcano.
00:10It has affected several families and is still in evacuation centers.
00:15Here are the details in the report of Rod Laguzal.
00:20FEEBOX still does not remove the possibility of elevating volcano Canlaon to alert level 4.
00:26Volcanoes have also been active in the past few days, including Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
00:49In this situation, the danger zone can be extended to 10 kilometers or more.
00:54At the moment, Canlaon is at alert level 3, where it is possible for a hazardous eruption in the coming weeks.
01:00According to FEEBOX, in the past 24 hours, two ash emissions were recorded,
01:05where the highest was 400 meters.
01:0820 volcanic earthquakes were also recorded.
01:10While more than 6,000 tons per day were recorded of sulfur dioxide yesterday,
01:14this is higher than December 24.
01:17As explained by Bacolco, they are looking at three scenarios.
01:20The rise of magma is slow and will only reach the top of the volcano,
01:24which may take longer, but the damage is less.
01:27Second, the rapid rise of magma.
01:29Here, it is possible for an explosive eruption to occur,
01:32where there may be a pyroclastic density current that is more dangerous.
01:36Third, its activity stopped and the alert level may be lowered.
01:50Again, when our parameters are increasing, we cannot lower it.
01:57We have to assess this on a day-to-day basis and check all the parameters
02:03because our earthquakes are increasing and the sulfur dioxide is increasing.
02:10According to the Office of the Civil Defense, as of December 26,
02:13almost 12,000 families were affected by the eruption of the volcano.
02:17From here, more than 4,000 families are currently staying in evacuation centers.
02:22The government continues to support the affected,
02:25while the DSWD first prepositioned a fund of P31.96 million
02:31as a quick response fund from the DSWD Central Office.
