Around 22,000 houses 'totally damaged' by Taal eruption

"totally damaged" by the eruption of Taal Volcano, the provincial government of Batangas bared Sunday.

Mandanas said of this number, most are located in the Volcano Island and other villages near the danger zone. "Kaya nga sinasabi ko mas malaki ang pondong kakailanganin natin ngayon kaysa sa nitong nakaraang 15 araw. Hindi lang pagpapakain, damit, personal needs. Kung di ngayon, bahay pa nila....kailangan mo na agad tulungang magkahanapbuhay. Hindi naman pwedeng aasa na lang lagi,"[Translation: This is why I'm saying that we need a bigger budget to help the victims compared to what we have been giving in the past 15 days. It's not just food, clothes and personal needs.

In its latest update Sunday, the NDRRMC noted total damage to agriculture and infrastructure in Batangas, Laguna and Cavite so far has reached ₱3.35 billion

The provincial government of Batangas needs to get the people OUT of the region. They can NEVER evac people within one hour if it goes wrong again. It will be heavy traffic and THOUSANDS of people will die because of their stupidity!

Many Taal eruption victims opt to remain in evacuation centers despite lowered alert levelBATANGAS CITY – When news about the lowering of alert level of the Taal Volcano was announced, 66-year old Gloria Marcellana does not know whether to immediately go back to their house in Taal town or remain in the evacuation center here at the Provincial Sports Complex.
