23,000 ektarya ng tubuhan sa Negros Island, apektado ng pagputok ng Mt. Kanlaon

Transcript

00:00 The eruption of Vulcan Canlaon affected 23,000 hectares of land in Negros Island.

00:08 According to the Sugar Regulatory Administration,

00:11 the so-called level of acidity in the leaves of the trees and soil in the crops

00:18 is higher than that of ashfall.

00:20 This means that the substance of the trees may be reduced and the production or yield may be reduced.

00:26 The SRA is hoping that the ashfall will be dissolved by rain.

00:31 If ashfall continues, it is desired to water the crops or to put organic material on the soil

00:38 to counter the adverse effects of ash.

00:42 The priority, of course, is the safety of our fellowmen.

00:47 Secondly, our animals.

00:50 So they are put in shelters.

00:52 And later on, when the crops are ready to be planted,

00:57 the ashfall can be incorporated.

01:00 If it is thicker, it needs to be removed.

01:05 So we are still in the process of cleaning.

01:09 And later on, we will do the necessary interventions

01:15 to help the farmers to plant again in the affected municipalities.
