Everybody in Negros should check this out.

NEGROS Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon asked seismologists to closely monitor Mt. Kanlaon of possible eruption after the 6.9-magnitude earthquake.
The governor made the appeal to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) to allay fears that the quake, which was followed by several aftershocks, may trigger the eruption of the volcano, although the Capitol’s Provincial Disaster Management Program (PDMP) office earlier said the quake may not trigger eruption.
Water sources found near the vicinity of the volcano were believed to have been adversely affected, as indicated by water discoloration from these sources.
Based on the updated report of PDMP head Vicfran Defante, the sulfur pool of Mambukal Resort is also affected.
Residents in Barangay Minoyan in Murcia, which is close to Kanlaon volcano, reported that water coming from Kanlaon sources had turned black, making it unfit for drinking.
The Municipal Government of Murcia and the office of third district Representative Albee Benitez have been supplying water to the affected residents.
Water discoloration was also experienced in Moises Padilla, La Castellana and La Carlota, which are also near the volcano.
Marañon reiterated his appeal to the public not to panic in case of earthquake and instead pray for the safety of everybody.
He assured that the Provincial Government will extend assistance to the victims of the earthquake in Negros Oriental.
The Provincial Government will determine the exact amount, during its session Wednesday, which will be used to buy relief goods for the victims of the quake.

Thanks for the info. That would be a major major disaster if Kanlaon ever erupted .

 

Most people don't know that the Pinatubo eruption was proceeded by several months by a 6.9+ that rocked Manila hard and destroyed many buildings in Baguio including the Hyatt hotel there....
A local dormant volcano may well be awakening.

Just please don't let it be Mt. Talinis..

I think there is no threat for volcanic eruption with Talinis since its heat energy is constantly released through the PNOC Geothermal Energy Plant. Aside from that, there's the Twin lake that servers as its cooling system.

What do you think?

Philippines Disaster Preparedness Plan=Bend over and kiss it good bye

 

well, without getting religious, but all that praying didn't help a lot after Sendong,did it ?...
How about educating people about protection and precaution and take action instead of asking an imaginary object to sort out problems...

 

Yikes, never say "no threat", just say, "so far, so good"..
I think that the thermal energy pulled out of the mountain is negligible. What is beneficial is that Talinis is a large, multi-strata dormant volcano that securely anchors and stabilizes Southern Negros island.

 

What volcano / mountain does Valencia sit on? I am not familiar with the volcano’s /mountains in the area

 

Mt. Talinis, AKA Cuernos De Negros (Horns of Negros)
