easy for us to say.
we don't have ties to the place.

asking them to leave, is akin to blindfolding them and shipping them off to a furrin land.

my opinion.

re mga tao na matigas ang ulo

re mga business na gusto mag bukas uli

you're dealing with human nature

people want to go back to their lives

di pa ma-accept things have changed

people will only accept everything's gone when it's really gone

so for now since di pa nangyayari ung malaking explosion people have the strong urge to go back to their homes

the gov't is trying to protect people from their urges

mahirap na trabaho yan

gaano katagal?

sabi it can be days to weeks to months

the longer the explosion doesn't happen, the stronger the people's urge to go back to their homes

hirap ng trabaho ng philvocs

masisisi sila either kulang ang warning or OA sila

ung pagsabog noong sunday nasisi sila kulang ang warning

ngayon warning nila any day pwede sumabog uli pag di nangyari masisisi din sila

Ang titigas ng mga ulo!

Kung Ako hayaan na sila bumalik para pag sumabog taal mamatay na silang lahat.

Ano ba mahirap intindihin na danger zone yun lugar nila.

Just let them go. But at their own risk. Rescuers should not risk their lives for hard headed fools.

mas short term ang utak ng tao kesa geology

geologic time is measured in decades, centuries, millenia...

a volcano can rest for decades or centuries between explosions so humans see that period of peace as permanent kaya people live around volcanoes

WOndering if the people on Volcano Island have land titles... And how the hell did they get one since the island was already declared a permanent danger zone.

wondering how much real estate around the 14 or 17 km danger zone is being held as collateral by banks right now

the eventual realization that the value of the collateral has dropped

Also those club shares/rights to golf courses in and near the danger zone...

Tagaytay Highland holes 13 to 14...

GOLF GRINDS TO A HALT AT STA. ELENA, SOUTHWOODS, CANLUBANG AND TAGAYTAY

Four of the country’s most popular tournament venues are out of business at a time when their members and guests should be enjoying the fine golfing weather before summer starts.

“It’s gonna take a while (before the courses open), we have a lot of work to do,” says Rhoneil Cousart, golf director of Tagaytay Highlands and Midlands.

Being covered by a 14-kilometer radius imposed by the local government that gives limited access to the club, Tagaytay is in a quandary.

Maintenance workers are racing against time to save their greenery, needing to scrape volcanic ash off the greens and fairways before it causes permanent damage. The cost implications would be huge should they fail to.

When the cleanup work gets completed remains a big question – like the volatility of Taal - and even a great challenge.

A drone shot showing the extent of ash cover at Sta Elena is just unimaginable. In its long history, they’ve had closures due to inclement weather and their regular maintenance Mondays.

But four straight days of closure (and counting) has never happened at Sta. Elena in 25 years. And it’s certainly giving club management some serious headache. The Cabuyao club is using the safety card as reason for such, advising members that “ash and debris pose a very serious health hazard for both its members and employees”.

Over at Manila Southwoods, club management has sought for more time to put its two courses in playable shape minus the tons of heavy ash that rained hard on them on that fateful Sunday.

While taking the ash off hectares upon hectares of the sprawling property is the bigger problem, the challenge of disposing them looms ahead.

Meanwhile, regular players at the said courses are forced to take other options. Or even forget playing altogether for the meantime.

They will have second thoughts considering clubs in Batangas like Mt. Malarayat and Summit Point for sure.
