Many Taal eruption victims opt to remain in evacuation centers despite lowered alert level

– 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.

But a few meters away, she heard her nephew Noriel arguing with some of their neighbors about how unsafe it was to go back. Most of the evacuees here are from Taal town, and most of them decided to send the heads of their families first to conduct ocular inspection on their house and their barangays. And third, some of the houses and structures in the evacuees’ respective communities may not be structurally safe as a result of the quakes.

And THAT is what the Batangas government does not want. The reason of giving the towns free is because they want the people OUT of the evac centers. They are scared of getting the Corona Virus there, because the people are weak. AND WHO PAYS THE RETURN?
