00:00We will now talk about the eruption of Vulcan Calaon in Negros Island. We have with us PBOX Director Teresito Bacolcol. Director, good morning.

00:07Yes sir. Good morning to you too.

00:09How strong is the eruption of Vulcan Calaon when it is said to be an explosive eruption?

00:16Earlier, our plume height reached 4,000 meters or four kilometers.

00:24This is comparable to the December 9 explosive eruption that also reached 4,000 meters or four kilometers.

00:31Earlier, there were reports of ashfall that reached Barangay Cubay in La Carlota City and sulfuric smell in La Carlota City.

00:43Is the eruption still going on until now, Director?

00:48It ended earlier at 6.47 p.m. and the eruption ended. It lasted for almost one hour from 5.51 a.m. to 6.47 a.m.

01:01Is there a possibility of ashfall?

01:03Yes. If there is ashfall, it is dangerous. If we have a problem in Baga, it can spread.

01:19We can feel it because volcanic ash is composed of small pieces of rock, mineral and volcanic blast.

01:30If it is ashfall, it can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat and if there are respiratory conditions such as asthma, it can cause symptoms.

01:41Director, what are the towns in Negros Island that are possibly affected by this eruption?

01:47Right now, again, the plume is heading southwest. Most likely, in La Carlota City, Bago City and La Castillana, they will be affected by the eruption.

02:01But right now, what we confirmed is in La Carlota City, there is a light ashfall.

02:10Should the alert level be raised, Director?

02:15Right now, we are still maintaining the alert level 3.

02:19Okay. Thank you very much Phoebus Director Terecito Bacol. Be careful.

02:23Thank you very much as well.
