Affected by lahars were Barangays Biak-na-Bato, Calapnagan and Cabacungan in La Castellana, as well as Masulog in Canlaon City. State weather bureau Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration has forecast thunderstorms today that could generate larger volume of lahar.
Canlaon City Mayor Jose Cardenas also confirmed that water in Brgy. Masulog is contaminated with lahar. He added that the city government deployed its water filtration truck in the barangay to address potable water needs of residents. “Regarding the water supply in Kanlaon, although there is abundant water, it may be contaminated by ashfall. Coordination with local water districts is necessary,” Tolentino said.
Some 1,501 passengers are also stranded in various locations in Western Visayas and so far, 20 domestic flights and one international flight have been cancelled.
