This is a welcome development since there is no signs that that would
dictate that Taal can be considered as safe.
Department of Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III has ordered he
Bureau of Customs (BOC) to donate all of its seized food items fit for human
consumption to the swelling number of evacuees from Batangas and Cavite
following Taal Volcano's eruption.
“I have directed the BOC to determine which confiscated and unclaimed
shipments of food items in the ports are fit for human consumption so that
these goods can be sent right away to the victims of Taal's continued
eruption,” Finance Secretary said.

The BOC in
compliance with Dominguez directive has immediately turned over to the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) some 32 pallets containing
180 boxes each of canned Libby’s Vienna sausage seized at the Port of Manila in
March 2018, this according to Customs Deputy Commissioner Edward James Dy Buco.
The canned
goods will be donated to the different evacuation centers affected by Taal’s
eruption.
The donation will help feed some 53,000 families or around 267,000
evacuees, he said.
Dy Buco said the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the
shipment of Libby’s canned sausages as fit for human consumption.
