00:00Let's see how the residents of La Castellana Negros Occidental are doing following the eruption of Vulcan Canlaon this Monday.
00:09We have live on the spot, Aileen Pedrezo of GMA Regional TV.
00:14Aileen?
00:23Tony, aside from food and water, one of the problems of La Castellana LGU
00:28is whether the condo will be enough for the more than 2,000 families evacuated after the eruption of Vulcan Canlaon.
00:37Since 6 p.m., 10 evacuation centers have been opened in the town of La Castellana Negros Occidental
00:43for the residents who were evacuated after the eruption of Mount Canlaon on Monday.
00:48Because many barangays were affected by the thick fog caused by the volcano,
00:53many of the residents who are near here were chosen to stay in the evacuation center.
00:58However, due to the high number of evacuees, the LGU's current problem is whether the condo will be enough
01:03even though the residents stayed in the evacuation center for a long time.
01:07According to the LGU's latest report, more than 2,000 families or more than 7,000 individuals are already in the evacuation center.
01:14The LGU has already addressed the problem in DSWD for the food and non-food items that the affected residents need.
01:22One of the problems according to the LGU is the supply of condoms for the relief operations.
01:29That's why the LGU is hoping for additional help from the provincial government of Negros Occidental,
01:34especially since the volcano is already in Alert Level 3.
01:37The LGU also assured that the water supply of the evacuees in the evacuation center is enough.
01:43It's still early.
01:44There's a long line here in the water purification unit that was placed inside one of the evacuation centers in the town.
01:51According to one of the evacuees, this is a big help.
01:54It can be assured that even inside the evacuation center, the drinking water is safe
01:59and the spread of the disease can be avoided, which can lead to a bad water supply.
02:05The water purification unit will take a long time until there are still people remaining in the evacuation center.
02:11Tony, because of the fault caused by the eruption of the volcano back then,
02:15the provincial government is already planning to relocate Negros Occidental to the State of Calamity.
02:22Tony?
02:23Aileen, how is the operation of some establishments in La Castellana?
02:35Tony, the Department of Tourism has suspended the operation of activities and attractions
02:44not only here in La Castellana but also in other parts of Negros Occidental
02:50such as farm, resort, and trekking sites within the 6 km per minute danger zone of the volcano.
02:57That's the latest from here in La Castellana.
03:00Back to you, Tony.
03:01Thank you very much, Aileen Pedrezo of GMA Regional TV.
