Expansion of danger zone around Mayon needs to be studied — DOST  Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. says the expansion of the danger zones in Bicol needs to be assessed further as Mayon continues its non-explosive eruption. In an interview with _The Manila Times_, Solidum said that proposals to extend the six-kilometer permanent danger zone around the Mayon Volcano hinged on whether the accumulated volume of deposit on the volcano’s slopes was sufficient to travel further. Solidum said the current monitoring parameters did not justify the need to raise the alert level to  4. ​ VIDEO BY ALLEN LIMOS  Check out our Streaming Channel: https://streaming.manilatimes.net/  Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe  Visit our website at [https://www.manilatimes.net](https://www.manilatimes.net/)  Follow us: Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion  Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital  Check out our Podcasts: Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein  #TheManilaTimes #TMTNews #Mayon #Philippines

00:00Well, if they see that there is enough volume that can collapse,

00:05because, for example, if you're at the top and the rocks will flow, it will reach a certain distance.

00:14And it's called a run out.

00:15So you have to evaluate if the volume of deposit on the slope,

00:20if this would collapse, would run out further beyond 6 kilometers.

00:24So they would have to increase it so that people are safe.

00:27So parang, they evaluate kung tatakbo at aabutan pa ba yan 6.

00:32So do we have projections na po kaya on how extensive yung expansion?

00:37O wala pa silang sinasabi because they have to discuss if they need to increase it.

00:44Because kung wala nabang volume na nandun sa slope,

00:48na babagsak at lalagpas sa 6, hindi mo kailangan.

00:51So they have to really study it.

00:53Kasi parang yung threat na wala.

00:56Nahulog na kasi yung nakabitin doon.

00:58So they have to evaluate other parts of the volcano or other streets.

01:06Masa ito po mga kababayan sa paligid naman yung volcano,

01:09kahit hindi po sumasabok ng talagang todo,

01:12yung explosive eruption,

01:14ang nakikita kung di dahan-daan paglabas ng lava,

01:17yung dami ng lava na nakabitin sa dalis-dis ng vulkan,

01:20pwede mahulog yan parang landslide.

01:22Dahil mainit, maraming gas, nakakapaso.

01:25At kapag ikaw ay naabutan at nakulog ka sa abo,

01:29pwede kang mamatay dahil wala ka ng oxygen na mahihinga.

01:32Pwede kang mamatay.

01:33Kaya umiiwas dapat doon sa 6-kilometer permanent danger zone.

01:38At kung merong episode na bumabagsak ka nga,

01:42magsuot ng mask.

01:43Pag walang mask, basang damit, panyo.

01:47Tumago sa loob ng bahay,

01:48doon abitana at pintuan.

01:50Huwag mo nang magmaneho,

01:52kasi mandulas ang kasada habang pumapagsak.

01:55Zero visibility ng sarpa.

02:24Doon abitana at pintuan.
