00:00 The Kanlaon City LGU is now preparing for the business oriental
00:03 for the assistance to distribute to the farmers affected by the eruption of the volcano Kanlaon.
00:10 The details in the words of Jesse Atienza.
00:13 The volcano Kanlaon is calm and calm even though it continues to erupt.
00:23 The residents are also continuing to live their lives.
00:27 But the residents are still staying in the evacuation center
00:35 because they cannot return to their homes near the volcano.
00:39 In the rise of the new steam at the foot of the volcano,
00:44 the vast farmland erupted.
00:47 According to the LGU of Kanlaon City,
00:49 they are continuing to conduct a survey of the farmland affected by the eruption of the volcano.
00:56 With the total gross, shall I say,
01:02 summation as to how much, we cannot predict because there are some of it
01:08 that it is just newly planted during the eruption.
01:11 There is some of it about to harvest.
01:14 And there are some of it that they are still tilling their lands in the land preparation stage.
01:20 So what we did is that we will be allocating fertilizer assistance or cash assistance
01:29 intended for those individuals.
01:31 Even the rich water in Masulog Barangay was not saved.
01:36 This is what the Padudusan Falls looks like now.
01:38 This is one of the tourist destinations here in the Kanlaon City.
01:43 There are no people in the houses near here because all the residents who live here have been evacuated.
01:51 Actually, in front of us, it is already a bit deep,
01:54 but we can still see the color of the area.
01:59 It means that the level of the water that is mixed with the lava
02:03 that rose here during the eruption of the volcano is still that high.
02:08 Every day, Father Ponciano goes home from the evacuation center
02:14 to clean the house and feed the animals.
02:18 I have two sons.
02:20 They are both farmers.
02:22 I work.
02:24 I take care of my two sons.
02:26 I have six of them.
02:29 The Environmental Management Bureau of the BENR also conducts ambient air monitoring.
02:36 This is what we call the EVAM+
02:39 It monitors a type of air pollutant that we call Particulate Matter 10 or PM10.
02:47 It means that pollutants or particulates,
02:51 particularly ashes from the volcano or dust,
02:56 that measure 10 microns or 10 micrometers below.
02:59 In terms of PM10 pollutants,
03:02 we should not worry.
03:06 But the volcano erupted,
03:08 it produced a lot of pollutants,
03:11 especially gases, particularly sulfur dioxide,
03:15 in which hopefully this week,
03:19 we will monitor the SO2 level
03:22 that is possibly coming from the volcano.
