00:00The situation in Negros Occidental and the evacuation centers there is still chaotic following the eruption of Vulcan Canlaon.
00:06We will now talk to Bryle Larry Sanyor, information officer of Negros Occidental PDRRMO.
00:14Good morning.
00:15Yes sir. Good morning sir. This is Bryle from PDRRMO.
00:20Thank you very much. We just want to know if it rained there last night.
00:25Yes sir. It was confirmed that it rained near the surrounding of Mt. South Town of the LGUs.
00:33So the Fibox forecast was high compared to the lahar flow. How is our monitoring there?
00:39So far sir, fortunately, we did not record any lahar flow last night after the rain.
00:48Thank you very much.
00:49There are reports that aside from those inside the six-kilometer danger zone, the ones inside the seven-kilometer area near the volcano are also starting to evacuate.
01:00Yes sir. That's right. The evacuation is not only four to six kilometers, but also to other areas.
01:13So what we call there is pre-emptive evacuation.
01:18What is the latest number of evacuees Mr. Sanyor?
01:23Yes. Yesterday around 2 p.m., we recorded a total of 3,428 families or 11,564 individuals inside the evacuation centers of our LGUs.
01:43Are we experiencing our fellow countrymen who don't want to evacuate?
01:48That's normal sir. There are our fellow countrymen who refuse to evacuate, especially in one of our LGUs.
02:01We recorded that not all of them were evacuated from our evacuation centers.
02:07So this is not a forced evacuation Mr. Sanyor?
02:12In one of our LGUs, they conducted a forced evacuation.
02:17However, there are individuals who refuse to evacuate.
02:23How is the supply of water and electricity in our evacuation centers?
02:29So far, our electricity is stable as of today.
02:35Our member agencies also conducted water rationing.
02:41They also donated the necessary stocks of water for our evacuation centers.
02:51One thing to watch out for, the Department of Health.
02:54Is there a chance that they are getting sick because of the ash fall and other effects of the eruption of the volcano in the evacuation center?
03:01Yes. On December 9, that night, our provincial health office recorded medical cases such as hyperventilation syndrome.
03:13We also have anxiety attacks, difficulty of breathing, and other symptoms of the eruption of the volcano.
03:25Can they help in the evacuation center?
03:29Yes. We have medical teams on standby for them.
03:35What activities are taking place today?
03:39Is the evacuation of our countrymen still ongoing Mr. Sanyor?
03:44Yes. As of last night, there is still an operation of evacuation.
03:51Okay. Be careful. I know you're busy so I won't keep you waiting.
03:56Thank you very much for your time.
03:58Brian Larry Sanyor, information officer of Negros Occidental PDRRMO. Be careful.
04:03Thank you. Good morning.
