00:00The officials of PHIVOLCS are watching Mount Canloon's activity like hawks on a limb,

00:06ensuring the three parameters or conditions for raising the danger level of the volcano are met.

00:12The sulfur dioxide content discharged by Canloon has reached a mark of up to 10 tons of certain days.

00:19Frequency of volcanic earthquakes has also climbed, but it is the incidence of ground deformation

00:26which will leave PHIVOLCS no option but to raise the alert level status

00:38the Office of Civil Defense in Western Visayas assures readiness for fast evacuation
