00:00The LGU temporarily allowed the evacuees of Canlaon City to return to their homes.

00:06This is even if the status of the Canlaon Volcano is at Alert Level 2.

00:09According to the NDRRMC, the value of Pinsalas Agricultura in Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental has reached more than P100 million pesos.

00:20Jesse Atienza has the details.

00:23The Canlaon Volcano is slowly making its way towards its destination.

00:30While the smoke is still coming out,

00:33no matter how calm it is during the past few days,

00:37the situation at the bottom is the opposite.

00:39The only thing that is not clear is not only on Facebook, but also in Balangayol, Katuk, and Dutagas.

00:46The LGU continues to send aid to the affected residents.

00:51They are sending aid door-to-door to Barangay Biak na Bato in the town of La Castellana.

00:57If we give aid to the barangay in rows,

01:01some of them are just getting it again and again based on our experience.

01:06If you give it door-to-door, whether they are rich or poor,

01:10you can really bring aid

01:12to make sure that we can give it all equally.

01:17In the last chapter of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council,

01:22the damage to agriculture in the two provinces reached more than P100 million pesos.

01:28Almost 30,000 individuals from 25 barangays were also affected.

01:39and the Incident Management Team of Canlaon City helped.

01:43Next, the LGU continues to prepare

01:46and allow evacuees to return to their homes

01:50even though the volcano is still in alert level 2 status.

01:54As long as they are not inside the 4-kilometer permanent danger zone,

02:01it's okay.

02:03It's just that we have to prepare them

02:06for how we can evacuate them.

02:09That's why I said that my suggestion is that there should be a simulation,

02:14simulation exercises,

02:15simulating, simulating,

02:17and our enemy is complacency.

02:19The LGU first stopped all social activities throughout the city

02:25for the sake of everyone's safety.

02:27In total, more than P11 million pesos of aid

02:32was distributed to affected residents
