00:00Meanwhile, a request from some residents has been rejected.

00:04After the volcano erupted yesterday, it is now a threat to the authorities.

00:09The government is ready if the volcano reaches alert level 4.

00:14Patrick De Jesus, Sandro ng Balita, live.

00:20Now, the government is implementing a forced evacuation in a 6-kilometer danger zone

00:26from the volcano Canlaon that erupted yesterday.

00:30More than 54,000 residents need to be evacuated,

00:36particularly in the town of La Castellana, in Negros Occidental,

00:40and Canlaon City, in Negros Oriental, which is affected by ashfall.

00:44Some residents still refuse to evacuate.

00:49Even though the volcano has already reached alert level 4,

00:52NDRRMC Chairperson and Defense Secretary Gervontio Doro

00:57has given permission to listen to the authorities.

00:59As of now, the Interagency Coordinating Cell is active

01:03for faster response efforts, as well as the Task Force Canlaon

01:08under the Office of Civil Defense.

01:11The task force will handle the response in the entire region.

01:18But the important thing is that we are talking to our fellow countrymen

01:23in La Castellana and Canlaon City, which are 6 kilometers away.

01:29The LGUs already know what these districts are.

01:33They have already evacuated.

01:35We will find a way.

01:37This afternoon, we will send 1,000 tents and water

01:46plus other facilities such as portalettes, etc.

01:52so that we can manage temporary evacuation sites.

01:59The government is ready to extend the 10-kilometer danger zone

02:05to alert level 4 of the Canlaon Volcano.

02:09The Navy has already used its assets for assistance and other floating assets.

02:14Some airports have also been affected by the ashfall.

02:19This is ashfall. It depends on the wind.

02:22Ports will not be affected.

02:24Only airports will be affected.

02:28But that's a coordination in progress.

02:35Canlaon City Mayor Jose Chubasco-Cartenas called

02:40the Department of Agriculture for additional assistance to the farmers

02:44because some crops were affected by the ashfall.

02:48The problem here is the farmers, the vegetable farmers.

02:54Because Canlaon City, the livelihood here is mainly farming

03:01and it's composed of three farmers.

03:03We have sugarcane farmers, rice farmers, and vegetable farmers.

03:09That's why the vegetable farmers are affected.

03:14Occasionally, every time the volcano erupts, their crops are affected.

03:21In fact, only 20% of the crops reach our market to be sold.

03:30The military is also helping to evacuate the residents

03:34under the leadership of AFP Visayas Command or AFP Vizcob.

03:39Another thing that is being monitored is the possible rainfall.

03:44Because if there is rainfall there, the possibility of a flood is guaranteed.

03:51But for now, there is no rainfall in the province.

03:56The Office of Civil Defense and the government

04:02have already evacuated the residents inside the danger zone.

04:08Patrick, has the OCD mentioned any residents

04:11who have not yet evacuated to the 6-kilometer danger zone?

04:19There are no details about that yet.

04:21Based on the initial data, 54,000 residents need to be evacuated

04:27inside the 6-kilometer danger zone.

04:31Thank you very much, Patrick De Jesus.
