WITH PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo away on a state visit to Libya, Malacañang yesterday gave assurances that the government was ready for any contingency should Mount Mayon unleash a major eruption.
Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said the National Disaster Coordinating Council and the local government units were "on top of all disaster preparedness measures to ensure the safety of the residents who may be directly affected by the volcanic activity."
"We appeal to residents and travelers to adhere to the off-limit zones and to abide by the contingency measures being implemented by authorities," Bunye said in a statement.
"Preparedness and coordination between the concerned government agencies, the local government units, as well as the communities in the area would be the key in maintaining zero-casualty in the event that a major eruption occurs," he said.
