00:00Let's go back to ASEC Albert Domingo, Spokesperson of the Department of Health.
00:04ASEC Albert, can you hear us?
00:07Yes, good evening Sheila, good evening to all our countrymen who are watching on TV.
00:12ASEC, what are the dangerous diseases that can be caused by the eruption of the volcano Canlaon?
00:17And what are the precautions that should be taken by the residents who live near the volcano?
00:23Yes, Sheila, we saw the eruption of the volcano Canlaon.
00:27Yes, we saw in the video and in one of our feedbooks that there was a big plume of ashfall.
00:35The first thing we should look at is the ashfall.
00:37We should all be careful, especially our countrymen who have symptoms of the volcano.
00:42Those who have hiccups, emphysema, bronchitis and other diseases of the volcano.
00:47We should wear a face mask. Ideally, we should use N95.
00:52But if we don't have N95, we should wear a medical grade mask.
00:56Or if we don't have a face mask, we should use a piece of cloth that we have.
01:00We should layer it on our face.
01:02And we should wet it a little bit so that we don't get a rash.
01:06We should also look at the pyroclastic density current, or PDC.
01:11We read in a feedbook that if this is also mixed with water, there could be an eruption.
01:17It is very important that we listen to the LGU's advice
01:21when they say that we should stay away from the volcano.
01:26Do you have any advice that residents should take as a precaution
01:32aside from those who have existing health conditions?
01:36Yes, Sheila. We should add food to our diet.
01:40Why?
01:41I will start with our eyes.
01:43Aside from the existing conditions in Baga,
01:46if the wind blows, it can cause irritation in our eyes.
01:53So if we are near a volcano,
01:55or if there is an eruption,
01:57or if we are near a place,
01:59we should wear goggles
02:01or goggles to cover our eyes.
02:03Because it is hard for our eyes to get in.
02:07If we get caught in the volcano,
02:10we should use running water to wash our eyes and face.
02:17As I said, Sheila,
02:19aside from our food,
02:20we should make sure that our vegetables and fruits are clean,
02:24especially if it is mixed with water.
02:26So we should wash our hands with clean water
02:28to make sure of our food.
02:31Asek Albert,
02:32how are you?
02:33Are there people from DOH
02:36who were deployed to places near the volcano?
02:41Yes, Sheila.
02:42We monitored them.
02:43Actually, when we saw that there was an incident,
02:47we called at 3 o'clock,
02:49our system was activated immediately.
02:52At the moment, all the regional offices of the Department of Health,
02:57especially those near our volcano, are code white.
03:00The reason for that is,
03:02first, all the health emergency response teams
03:04that are near the volcano
03:06are on alert
03:08and monitored the movements of people
03:10that are needed in evacuation centers.
03:13Second,
03:15if there are materials that need to be delivered from other regions of our country,
03:19this will be done immediately by the Ministry of Health.
03:23Thank you very much, Asek Albert Domingo.
