00:00For an update on the situation in Negros Island following the volcano eruption this Monday, let's talk to the Office of Civil Defense Assistant Secretary Raffy Alejandro, the 4th.

00:09Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

00:12Yes, Raffy. Good afternoon.

00:15How are the people of Negros Island affected by the eruption of Volcano Canaon?

00:20Is it possible for them to celebrate Christmas in the evacuation center?

00:24Yes, there is a high possibility that they will celebrate Christmas in the evacuation center because PBOCS told us that the volcano should be observed for a minimum of three weeks.

00:38We are on alert level 3, so we need to evacuate those who are in the 6-kilometer permanent danger zone.

00:45Currently, there are 17,000 people in the evacuation centers.

00:50Our target is almost 85,000 people or 17,000 families.

00:58Our effort to help the local government unit is still ongoing to evacuate our countrymen who are in the permanent danger zone.

01:09You are not able to monitor those who are getting sick, especially those who have pets.

01:13Where can they be evacuated if they have pets?

01:17Yes. Aside from the 25 evacuation centers for people, we are establishing evacuation centers for their pets.

01:27It is also being advocated by LGUs because that is one of our problems.

01:32They don't want to leave their pets and they need to be addressed.

01:40Local government units and DAs and NGAs are addressing this issue so that their pets can be used safely.

01:50Are there more people getting sick because of the ashfall?

01:54So far, we have not reported from DOH.

01:59But we are continuously monitoring the air quality around the volcano, especially those who are in the 6-kilometer or 8-kilometer.

02:08We are monitoring it every day.

02:11DOH is prepared to address any possible feeling of being hit by the wind.

02:19DOH is prepared. They are deploying teams.

02:23The evacuation centers will be monitored by DOH to monitor their health.

02:32The OCD Western Visayas issued an aerial inspection of the volcano Canlaon.

02:37It is currently in progress. Do we have an update on the situation there?

02:41Yes. So far, the aerial survey with PHIVOX and OCD was just completed this morning.

02:47We are waiting for the official report from PHIVOX.

02:50But so far, the alert level 3 will remain the same.

02:54We are monitoring all the possibilities of the eruption.

03:02We are continuously coordinating with PHIVOX.

03:05Hopefully, once their assessment is completed,

03:08because there are many factors that they will study,

03:11we will know within the day the results of their aerial survey.

03:17Okay. Thank you very much for your time this afternoon.

03:21Thank you very much also, Raffy. Good noon.

03:25This is Asec Raffy Alejandro IV of OCD.
