Manila Mayor Isko Moreno has ordered the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) to deploy two teams to support the Tagaytay and Talisay CDRRMOs in order to minimize the impact of Taal Volcano eruption in their areas.
“MDRRMO Director Arnel Angeles has been given authority to mobilize his team, including the medical component under his office’s operational control,” Manila Public Information Office said in a statement.
The local government of Cavite and Manila also suspended classes due to the explosion.
“Due to the heavy ash fall being experienced in Cavite, it is best for everybody to stay indoors. The ash fall may result in respiratory disorders. Mga magulang, ingatan po natin ang ating mga anak. Classes in all levels are suspended tomorrow, January 13, 2020,” Cavite Governor Jonvic Remulla said in a statement.
