00:00A new eruption of the Canlaon Volcano was recorded this morning.
00:05It was caused by a thick fog that affected some areas of Negros Occidental.
00:11Ileane Pedrezo of GMA Regional TV reported.
00:20A thick and black fog woke up the residents of Negros Island
00:23due to a new activity of the Canlaon Volcano at around 6 a.m.
00:27In the time-lapse footage of PHIVOX,
00:29we can see how strong the fog was.
00:32We can also see the pyroclastic density currents
00:34that are formed by the hot gas and volcanic material
00:37below the volcano in the thermal camera footage.
00:40According to PHIVOX,
00:41the activity of the volcano lasted for almost an hour
00:44and it even erupted in a grass fire.
00:46The Canlaon Volcano Observatory and some residents
00:48caught a thick fog.
00:51Aside from that,
00:52ashfall also fell on some areas of Negros Occidental,
00:55one of the most affected areas is La Carlota City in San Miguel,
00:59where motorists are allowed to use the thick fog.
01:01It also fell on houses and cars.
01:04Some residents are worried about their well-being.
01:08It was a long time ago.
01:10The first thing that happened was that the volcano erupted.
01:18Of course, there was no one to help us.
01:23What did you see when it erupted?
01:26There was no one to help us.
01:31I saw that there was a hole in the ground.
01:34That's why I was running to San Miguel.
01:37I was riding on a horse.
01:41I was running and they were running too.
01:44I couldn't see the road.
01:46It was very steep.
01:49When the volcano erupted,
01:52we couldn't see the road.
01:54It was very dangerous.
01:56We had to jump in the water.
01:58According to the La Carlota City LGU,
02:00there were more than 1,900 individuals
02:02inside evacuation centers since December.
02:05Today, 16 individuals were added
02:08from four families who evacuated
02:10because of the bad feeling after the eruption.
02:14There were babies.
02:17There were other people who were injured.
02:20FIVOC is still not evacuating
02:22from Alert Level 3 in the volcano.
02:24But the authorities and the public
02:26are preparing for it
02:28because it's possible that an explosive eruption
02:30could trigger the lava flow.
02:32It's one of the scenarios
02:34that could cause an effusive eruption.
02:38Based on our ground information,
02:40it's an inflated gap.
02:43It's the edifice of the volcano.
02:46The lava flow is very intense.
02:49The 6-kilometer radius of the volcano
02:51is still prohibited.
02:53Cars are still allowed to pass
02:55near the crater.
02:57Although some were evacuated,
02:59the Office of Civil Defense
03:01reminded them to remain alert.
03:03Residents are also not allowed
03:05to wear protective goggles
03:07or cover their mouth with a wet cloth
03:09against ash fall.
03:12They are expected to be evacuated
03:14the next day to provide assistance
03:16to those affected by the eruption of the volcano.
