For context, always refer to the full article.NEGROS OCCIDENTAL, Philippines – The ongoing transition from Western and Central Visayas to the newly created Negros Island Region is taking a toll on government responses to help more than 14,000 evacuees now in six localities in Negros Occidental after Kanlaon Volcano erupted again on Monday, November 9.
The transition process is what’s causing the delay in the government’s response following Monday’s eruption. DOH-NIR still lacks a full staff and has no warehouses to stock goods like face masks, medicines, nebulizers, and other essentials for evacuations, he said. Records from the town’s disaster risk reduction and management office, as of Tuesday afternoon, December 18, showed 8,799 evacuees from 2,715 families.
Unlike in the June 3 Kanlaon eruption, when La Castellana, with more than 20,000 evacuees, was flooded with donations from various donors, both public and private, this time there appears to be “donor fatigue.” Negros Occidental Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson estimated that the situation may be prolonged beyond Christmas.
“We have identified stable evacuation centers, including the provincial government-owned Panaad Park and Stadium in Barangay Mansilingan, Bacolod; Himamaylan City Gym; and Bago City Gym, among others,” Fernandez said.
