While the whole country is now facing
the eruption of Taal volcano from Batangas and everybody is experiencing ashfall
for the first time the country’s government troops are already in the ground helping
our countrymen to relocate from a much safer place.
Since yesterday afternoon the Philippine Institute
of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) has placed Taal Volcano at Alert Level
4 which means hazardous explosive eruption is possible within hours to
days.
The Philippine Army was one of the first who
responded to the volcano eruption- affected areas.

In their prepared statement the Philippine Army (PA) has “alerted
all its units in Luzon for possible disaster response operations and sent
around 20 military vehicles and 120 personnel to assist residents in the
affected areas of Batangas and Cavite.

Units of the 2nd Infantry "Jungle
Fighter" Division and the 202nd Infantry "Unifier" Brigade which
control the area of operations in CALABARZON are placed on red alert while
medical teams, signal capabilities, and ready reserve units from the National
Capital Region are all on standby for further deployment.”
"We assure the people that the Philippine Army
is fully able and ready to help in this time of need. Along with our partner
agencies, we will do everything we can and employ our capabilities to bring the
affected families to safety," said Lt. Gen. Gilbert Gapay, the Commanding
General Philippine Army.
