"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 Aņo 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.
