“We would like to respect the feelings of the vice mayor, but at the same time, we are firm in our science,” Maria Antonia Bornas, chief of the Phivolcs’ volcano monitoring and eruption prediction division, said on Monday.“We are aware of the plight of those who were displaced, especially those in evacuation centers. We know it’s very stressful for them,” Bornas said.She added: “We are working doubly hard to give [people] information. We’d be the first ones to say [when] it is safe to go back.
Since the volcano became restive a week ago, Phivolcs has repeatedly warned the public about base surges, or the rapid, lateral flow of hot gas, volcanic rocks and ash that can travel over water and reach lakeshore towns.At least 14 towns in Batangas, including Talisay, has been placed on lockdown amid Taal’s continued unrest.
