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.
