Talisay Mayor Apologizes

Talisay Vice Mayor Charlie Natanauan became a viral sensation when he uttered the now famous “"Bakit naman nasabi niya, siya ba ay Diyos?" towards Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Philvocs) head state seismologist Renato Solidum over the alert warning the agency has been giving.

His brother Talisay Mayor Gerry Natanauan already apologized in behalf of his second in command and brother who questioned the mandatory evacuation of residents from Taal Volcano, which remained under threat of another hazardous eruption as per the advised of Philvocs. 

"Ako po'y nahingi ng paumanhin doon. Taliwas po sa aking ipinapatupad na lockdown ang kaniyang panawagan," said Talisay Mayor Gerry Natanauan.

"Hindi ko po alam kung bakit siya'y nagkakaganoon," he added. 

(I apologize for that. His statement is against the lockdown that I am implementing. I don't know why he did that.) 

As per government data, Taal’s eruption has affected around 149,000 people and damaged at least P3.2 billion worth of crops and livestock.
