00:28The incident management team of La Castellana LGU is also activated for the possible eruption of the volcano.
00:39More than two months after volcano Canlaon erupted,
00:42residents of Barangay Biak na Bato, La Castellana Negros Occidental are still aware of the effect of lahar flow that entered their homes.
00:51Residents were once again afraid due to the increased seismic activity of the volcano, just like Melanie.
01:11According to some officials of the barangay,
01:14the residents living near the volcano were already warned to evacuate while it's still early.
01:19It will be difficult for them now.
01:33The LGU prepared evacuation centers and vehicles to be used in case the residents need to evacuate.
01:50According to the LGU, more than 400 residents of Barangay Masulog are temporarily staying in the covered court of the barangay.
01:58According to the volcano observatory, there is a high possibility that the volcano will be elevated to alert level 3 from alert level 2 based on the latest monitoring parameters.

02:51As of now, the rain continues to fall in the town of La Castellana.
02:58Igan?
02:59Aileen, how is the situation there?
03:01Have you observed any smoke?
03:03Or do you smell smoke?
03:10If you can see behind me, there is the volcano.
03:16But because of the bad weather, the rain, and the thick clouds, you won't be able to see it during this time.
03:26But from our interview with some residents here in the town, they can already smell the smell of smoke.
03:34And they are also experiencing a little bit of dizziness, Igan.
03:41Is the number of residents in the evacuation center increasing now?
03:49As of now, more than 800 evacuees have arrived here in Negros Occidental.
03:56As of now, they are staying in the evacuation centers.
