00:00 Let's find out the latest situation in Canlaon City that is in a state of calamity because of the eruption of volcano Canlaon.
00:06 We will talk to Canlaon City Public Information Head, Dr. Elmer M. Piales.
00:10 Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:12 Good morning to all the viewers of Balitang Hali.
00:18 How is the weather there now?
00:20 Have you witnessed a strong flood like in La Castellana?
00:25 It was only yesterday because we experienced a strong rain.
00:30 But for now, there's nothing.
00:33 But the weather is not good because it's cloudy or we have thick haze.
00:40 We prepared since there's a warning that there's a low pressure.
00:46 Our residents who are near the rivers, some voluntarily evacuated.
00:57 But some are a bit far away.
01:03 We have already warned since day one about the Lahar warning.
01:11 What is your advice to the residents who voluntarily evacuated? Where are they now?
01:16 They are in our evacuation center in Canlaon City, not in their barangay.
01:25 What is your advice to the residents who are near the rivers and haven't evacuated yet?
01:31 We advise that in case of a strong rain, proceed to the area where their extraction point is.
01:46 What are your preparations now if there's a bigger flood?
01:53 Is your supply and evacuation center enough?
01:57 Yes. We are preparing for that. We have already packed food.
02:02 We have volunteers, social workers and all the national and regional assistance.
02:17 Secretary Rex Gatchalian came here and gave us hygiene kits, sleeping kits and washing kit.
02:28 Are there major roads that will pass through the Lahar flow?
02:32 And if so, what is the effect of this?
02:36 We are preparing for the Masulug River and the IƱiwan River because those are the tributaries that will most likely pass through the Lahar.
02:48 We evacuated the residents there. It's highly probable that there will be a problem in their homes.
03:00 Those who are far away are already warned but we gave them instructions to go to the extraction point in case they can be evacuated.
03:14 We gave them 7 in case there are problems. They are already oriented.
03:22 If there's a flood like this, after the rain, the next problem will be a big one. Is this what you are preparing for?
03:30 Yes. That's why we ordered N95 masks, even for those who pledged to provide assistance and asked what our priorities are.
03:40 N95 masks. Then in our barangay, for added information, there was water contamination so we are rationing water there.
03:52 If ever someone will provide assistance, the best is the portable water filtration system because we are short of supplies because there are many residents who really need it.
04:05 I hope we can hear your call. Thank you for the information you shared with us.
04:10 Okay. Thank you sir Rafi.
04:13 This is City Public Information Head Dr. Elmer Impiales.
