00:00Magmatic intrusion is the biggest threat in the Volcano Caldaon.

00:03It continues to erupt with more ash.

00:06Now, we will be joined by PBOX Director, Dr. Teresito Bacolcol.

00:12Good morning, Director.

00:14Yes, good morning to you too, ma'am.

00:16Director, what does magmatic intrusion mean?

00:20What danger does it bring to humans?

00:23What it means is that there is a magma rising.

00:28It is not dangerous if the magma is only at the bottom and does not come out.

00:33It will only be dangerous if the magma comes out of the bottom of the volcano

00:37and enters the vicinity of the volcano,

00:39ready for the communities.

00:41Is this one, Director?

00:44Should we be prepared for the possible strong eruption of the volcano Caldaon

00:49because of the activities you are showing?

00:53Yes, we really need to be prepared.

00:56There is still a possibility of a magmatic eruption of the volcano Caldaon.

01:00The public and local government units should be ready and vigilant.

01:04Director Bacolcol, in your latest monitoring,

01:08how much sulfur dioxide did the volcano Caldaon emit?

01:13Are there any volcanic earthquakes being recorded?

01:17Yes. Yesterday, we recorded 10,880 tons per day of sulfur dioxide.

01:23This is lower than 11,556 tons per day of sulfur dioxide on September 11.

01:29We still recorded volcanic earthquakes.

01:32Yesterday, we recorded 17 volcanic earthquakes within the past 24-hour period.

01:37This is lower than the 79 that we recorded on September 11 to September 12.

01:44In the activities shown by the volcano Caldaon,

01:49Director Bacolcol, what are the possibilities of raising it to alert level 3?

01:53What other activities are you waiting for to raise it to alert level 3?

01:58Okay. So the possibility of raising it to alert level 3 is always there.

02:03We are waiting for the sustained increase in sulfur dioxide.

02:07Yesterday, it slightly decreased from 11,000 to 10,000.

02:12The number of earthquakes decreased.

02:17Again, this is one of the precautions that we need to increase to alert level 3.

02:23But if there are more volcanic earthquakes, this is one of the precautions.

02:29If there are phreatic eruptions or magma extrusions,

02:34if there are lava flows, these are precautions that we need to raise to alert level 3.

02:40Director, is there anything that needs to be evacuated around the volcano?

02:47Yes, it really needs to be evacuated.

02:50Especially those who live within the 4-kilometer permanent danger zone.

02:53They should not be there because sudden phreatic eruptions can occur.

02:58It is very dangerous.

03:00I hope our countrymen who live around the volcano Caldaon will listen to this.

03:06Thank you very much, PBOX Director Dr. Teresito Bacolcol.

03:10Good morning to all of you.

03:12Thank you very much.
