The official of the humanitarian arm of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines appealed to the faithful to help communities in Negros Island that were affected by the eruption of Mt. Kanlaon . Fr. Carmelo Caluag, Caritas Ph ilippines executive director, on Monday sought the public's help in assisting residents under four dioceses in the island -- the dioceses of San Carlos, Bacolod, and Kabankalan in Negros Occidental, and the diocese of Dumaguete in Negros Oriental.
It looks like this is not yet ending soon so we have to be prepared with the provisions needed to help them,' he said in an interview over Church-run Radio Veritas. Caluag said the residents are in dire need of face masks, food and drinking water. Some 833 families or 2,711 individuals are still staying in five evacuation centers two weeks since the volcano's eruption. The government, through the Department of Social Welfare and Development , had already distributed PHP25.
