00:00 We will talk to the FIVOX director, Teresito Bacolcol. Good morning.

00:08 Yes sir. Good morning to you too.

00:10 Yes. In your latest monitoring, was the explosion of volcano Canlaon followed last night?

00:15 We have not observed any explosion since yesterday. So it was not followed.

00:22 So far, the explosive eruption was yesterday.

00:27 Where else? Other volcanic earthquakes, ashfall, and others in the volcano today?

00:35 We have three scenarios that we are looking at.

00:40 If our monitoring parameters are maintained, there can be phreatic and short-lived explosive eruptions in the next few days.

00:50 So if this happens, alert levels will be maintained.

00:53 Now, if our earthquakes, ground deformation, and volcanic parameters are increasing, there can be magmatic eruptions.

01:04 So if this happens, we can increase the alert level from alert level 2 to alert level 3.

01:09 Now, if our monitoring parameters will decline, the alert level will step down to alert level 1 after sufficient observation has elapsed.

01:20 What is the reason behind the eruption of volcano Canlaon? Is this the long-term monitoring of PBOCS?

01:26 Yes. We have been monitoring volcano Canlaon for a long time. The reason why it erupted is because it's active.

01:33 Since 1866, we have 43 volcanic eruptions, including the one yesterday.

01:40 For the past year, since 2023, we issued five advisories for volcano Canlaon because the volcanic earthquakes are increasing.

01:54 In fact, the last advisory that we released was last May 26 because there were 24 volcanic earthquakes.

02:02 Normally, five volcanic earthquakes in a day will not increase in volcano Canlaon.

02:09 But last May 26, there were 24 volcanic earthquakes. That's the reason why we released an advisory.

02:14 Where in Negros Island is the most dangerous now?

02:19 We have areas that are included in the four-kilometer permanent danger zone.

02:30 There are barangays that are included in La Castellana, barangays in San Carlos City, there are barangays in Baguio City,

02:38 there are four barangays in Canlaon City and two barangays in La Carlota City that are included in the permanent danger zone.

02:47 These are the dangerous areas. There should be no people here.

02:51 Director, can you remind the residents who live near Canlaon, did you do evacuation?

02:57 The LGUs in La Carlota City evacuated yesterday.

03:04 But we are reminding our countrymen around Canlaon volcano to observe the permanent danger zone,

03:12 which is four kilometers from the crater of the volcano.

03:15 Do not enter the crater to minimize risk from satellite explosions, rock falls or landslides.

03:21 If there's volcanic ash or any kind of smell, they have to wear face masks.

03:29 In the ash fall. Thank you very much Phoenix Director Teresito Bacolcol. Be careful.

03:35 Thank you very much as well.

03:37 Thank you.
