Hinde ba pwede icompare sa boiling water in a pot or mantika for that matter? Pinaka simple yun suntok? Mas naiintindihan ng mga displaced residents yun suntok?

"lumubog yun pisngi, namaga sa kabila kaya nag crack sa taas" something to that effect...

Kung ganyan mag explain wala talagang makikinig na mga nakatira doon.

just listening to the radio now. philvolcs person explaining.
our philvolcs does not lack for intelligence. the science is there.
but they have to have a very good speaker... someone who speaks and sounds with authority.
and i do not think, quoting furrin findings will help.

the TV host.
he says they did a better job at pinatubo.
resource speaker counters, in essence, "we got lucky with pinatubo. it behaved according to the usual. taal refuses to behave as per scientific literature."

Sounds to me like tradpols using the PHIVOLCS as their whipping boy to the media to play up to their base affected by the eruption of Taal. If anyone bothers to patiently listen to Dr. Solidum's interviews on AM radio, he gives a pretty good account of what' going on with Taal in plain language. Tinagalog pa nga.

i agree.
it's science versus politics.

yan na ang sinasabi ko pag iinitan ang philvocs but i didn't expect it this soon

di pala weeks turn into months

days turn into weeks palang galit na ang mga tao sa philvocs

affected residents see philvocs as hadlang

hadlang sa kanilang buhay

they can't start rebuilding their lives if they can't go back to their land

if taal doesn't erupt soon mas lalo mahirapan ang gobyerno i-enforce ang danger zone

people + politicians will be increasingly convinced the massive eruption isn't gonna happen

and the longer taal doesn't explode, politicians are gonna pressure philvocs even more

Di na natapos yung campaign period for some trapos.

hirap sitwasyon ng mga LGU

mga residente nagrereklamo sa kanila

ipit sila

Only 8 barangays in Tolentiono's turf are barred from reopening their business establishments... Those that fall under "voluntary evacuation" are allowed to open at the discretion of the LGU(Mayor). Iba talaga ang appeal ni Sen. Beautiful eyes...

DILG: Only 8 Tagaytay barangays covered by mandatory evacuation - News - DILG

"Let me clarify that it's not the entire Tagaytay City but only 8 of its barangays were included by PHIVOLCS as within the Danger Zone, so business establishments may reopen in other areas of the city," he said.

He also clarified that as to these eight barangays, those located in the higher portion of the ridge may be allowed to reopen subject to the sound judgment of the Local Government of Tagaytay.

"Secretary Año has decided that those located in the higher portion of the ridge which based on the PHIVOLCS hazard map have low risk may be allowed to reopen by the Local Government Unit. So, it's subject to the discretion of the Mayor and she will be totally responsible," he said.

That's usually the precursor to a large-scale tragedy. Tapos hugas kamay bigla pag meron masamang nangyari.
