00:00Not like yesterday, there was a flood and there was a smog in a barangay in Tanawan City.
00:07So, some residents there are taking advantage of the situation to sell their fish.
00:15Benji Durango reporting for Central Balita.
00:21Now, again, many people have sold their catfish.
00:24Because of the volcanic smog yesterday in Tanawan City, Batangas, there were no fish caught in the bay of Taal.
00:30There were no fish caught yesterday. I was able to sell 2 kilos of fish.
00:34Why?
00:35There were no fish caught.
00:37Today, there was no smog here in Barangay Gonzales, which is located in a 14-kilometer radius danger zone.
00:44Although the bay of Taal is still smoking, it was not flooded yesterday, so the fishermen were able to go fishing.
00:50Because the water was hot.
00:52One of the fish was drowned.
00:54Why?
00:55It was hot.
00:56Because it was deep.
00:58We were fishing that day.
01:00It was about 100 meters below the surface.
01:03It was cold.
01:04The heat of the water caused the volcano to erupt.
01:07According to the latest FIBOX bulletin this morning, the status of the Taal Volcano remains at alert level 1.
01:14It is still emitting sulfuric dioxide at an altitude of 2,600 meters.
01:19According to FIBOX, Taal emits 3,355 tons of sulfuric dioxide every day.
01:26To understand how much it is,
01:29an average capacity of a dump truck like this is 12 tons.
01:333,355 tons is equivalent to 280 dump trucks.
01:38That is how much smoke Taal emits in the air now.
01:42In Barangay Nangkaan in Mataas na Kahoy, Batangas, which was also affected yesterday,
01:46they do not need to evacuate.
01:48They are only 3 kilometers away from the Taal Volcano.
01:51It is very rare that something like this happens.
01:53But we need to evacuate as soon as possible.
01:57That is what we will do.
02:00Classes are still canceled in 26 of the 34 LGUs in the province of Batangas.
02:06Schools are silent.
02:08It is a ghost town in some places.
02:11If only Mr. Roberto would not shoot his poor chicken,
02:14he will not leave the house.
02:16It is hard to breathe.
02:20Sulfuric dioxide can cause nausea,
02:23nausea, irritation of the eyes and skin,
02:26and heart attacks.
02:28The website iqair.com
02:30reported that the air is unhealthy in Batangas.
02:33Because people do not want to go out,
02:35like the store of Nanay Loleng,
02:37the business is also affected.
02:39This is the famous Balok Balok Restaurant.
02:41The customer is naughty.
02:42They are always canceled.
02:44They are afraid because there is a smog.
02:46It is dangerous.
02:48But there is a big impact on the life of the Taal Volcano.
02:51The residents of Batangas have more respect for them.
02:55They say it is enchanting.
02:57It is covered with a blanket.
02:59A blanket that often gives them blessings.
03:02I did not see the face of Rena.
03:04All I saw was the hair above the water.
03:08Sometimes, this also shows to Father Joe
03:11that his boat is full of fish.
03:13I am just thankful.
03:14I am thankful.
03:16They gave us a lot of food.
03:19In the morning, we went there again.
03:21But the government did not ignore
03:24the safety of their fellowmen around the Taal Volcano.
03:28Everyone is careful about the effect of the smog
03:30while they are told to stay inside the house
03:33or wear a face mask if they go out.
03:35With the help of the Taal Volcano,
03:38no one got sick
03:39even though the volcano erupted several days ago.
