Yung Agoncillo, San Nicolas, Laurel and a portion of Talisay ata parang pasok sa 7 km radius. Kapag nasa Agoncillo ka, anlapit lang tignan ng Pulo

sa news eh ash pa din problema sa tagaytay and batangas. Dito mas may purpose yung face mask kahit papaano.

hirap talaga pag may lote talaga jan. Buti hindi ko feel ko ang tagaytay.

Sharing this paper from 2 of my mentors.

(PDF) Professional conduct of scientists during volcanic crises

Some of the mentioned lines in the paper:
Resist temptations to form and/or work in separate,
competing “splinter” scientific groups. Unless scientists speak with a single voice, officials and
the public will be confused. Any public
bickering among scientists causes officials and the
public to distrust all scientists.

Some would-be new workers on a volcano are insensitive
to the intellectual and emotional investment of
long-time workers on that volcano.

Work during volcanic crises is inherently dominated
by monitoring and data collection for the common
good, rather than on data collection for one or
more individual research problems.

Volcanic crises attract pseudo-scientists, some well-meaning
and some perfect charlatans... Pseudo-scientists’ warnings and forecasts are best ignored.
However, if one causes serious public anxiety,
present a careful scientific rebuttal of major
points without attacking the pseudo-scientist

Each scientist needs to stay within the limits of his or
her own expertise and to submit all ideas to on-site
team review. Let the on-site team leader or spokesperson
provide all public updates and forecasts, including
those on the Internet.

Sometimes, information that does not meet the usual
high scientific standards for certainty is withheld. At
other times, information is withheld for fear that officials
or the public might become unnecessarily alarmed
or angry.

Most officials will be initially skeptical of scientific concerns
about a volcano... Beyond this
healthy skepticism, some officials listen only to the
scientific advice that best justifies their preferred actions
worse yet, some government officials give almost
no credence to scientific concerns about volcanic hazard.

The personal checklist at the end of the paper
includes the following:

Am I putting public interests above personal
and institutional gain?
Am I, within reason, preserving research and
authorship opportunities for those scientists
who have a long-vested interest in this volcano
but who have no time for research during the
crisis?

But I believe the points put forward can apply to any crises.

Taal Volcano emits steam 5 meters tall; spews more sulfur dioxide | Inquirer News

Taal Volcano had a “weak” emission of steam reaching 500 meters tall, and spewed more sulfur dioxide over the past 24 hours, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said Tuesday

.

Meanwhile, the sulfur dioxide emitted from Taal’s main crater was recorded on Feb. 3 at 231 tonnes per day. This was a significant increase to Phivolcs’ previous figure of 97 tonnes per day as recorded last Feb. 1.

The Taal Volcano Network, which Phivolcs said records “small but undetectable earthquakes” around Taal Volcano, also recorded 223 volcanic earthquakes, including eight low-frequency events and one harmonic tremor that lasted nearly three minutes long over the past 24 hours.

“These earthquakes signify magmatic activity beneath the Taal edifice that could lead to eruptive activity at the main crater,” Phivolcs explained.

No one told us the face mask was going to be a theme for ushering in 2020. Taal volcano’s ashes still choke a number of heavily affected towns in Batangas, and with many families unable to return yet to their homes, the situation is far from being officially concluded. But despite still reeling from one cataclysm, the country is already facing another potential large-scale crisis with its first confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus (nCoV). In January and February alone, there have been more days of wearing face masks in public than most Filipinos have seen in their whole lives. We only have to check our dwindling stocks to know that there aren’t enough to go around—a worrisome scenario should the situation continue indefinitely into the future.

Though the face mask has become the common trope between these two overlapping events, how each crisis is being handled by the respective government institutions tasked to them can be sharply contrasted.

This is Why Science Should Not Be Politicized

so paano geo yatta, mahirap na maginvest jan tagaytay?

about now is the better time to invest there, because some prices might have just plunged.
just avoid investing in the permanent no-fly zone.

[kagalingan]

Mahirap na dok eh collateral damage pa din yung ash fall tapos umaangat pa yung lupa.

it's a gamble, po.
nothing gambled, nothing gained.
heh heh.

[kagalingan]

dok maybe hangang farming land na lang if the price is really low.

Residential no-no

kamusta na taal. Nasapawan na ba.

Looks like the beast is calming down.

If you are going southbound on STAR, Taal Volcano is visible on the right side just past the Malvar exit. Wasn’t there before the eruption.

Really?...need to get a good close look tom....hindi ko sya napansin.

[_Qwerty_]

umusok na naman kanina ang Taal..

From Source: Kanlaon Volcano last erupted in June 2016. Ash fall was experienced in several barangays in Negros Occidental after the steam-driven eruption.
