MANILA, Philippines — “Traditional” Christmas parties are prohibited for evacuees in Canlaon City, Negros Oriental, as the threat from Kanlaon Volcano persists, though simple celebrations are still allowedjili178, the city mayor said on Tuesday.

Canlaon City Mayor Jose Chubasco Cardenas said that they are closely monitoring the volcano’s activity.

“Binawal ko ‘yung pagcelebrate ng Pasko dahil alam mo, kapag may paputok, bawal dahil hindi natin madetermine kung may eruption. Tapos kung magparty-party tayo na ganun, ‘di rin natin alam na during that time, ‘yung pinangambahan natin na worst case scenario na Alert Level 4 kung darating,” said Cardenas in an interview with Teleradyo 630.

(I prohibited celebrating Christmas because, you know, when there are fireworks, they’re not allowed since we can’t determine if there’s an eruption. And if we have parties like that, we also wouldn’t know if, during that time, the worst-case scenario we’re worried about—like Alert Level 4—might happen.)

“Kaya pinaintindi namin na ‘yung mga tao, kaunting salo-salo and walang celebration na traditional. Salo-salo will do. Binabantayan kasi namin patuloy ang bulkan,” Cardenas added.

(So we made them understand that it’s just a small get-together, not a traditional celebration. A simple gathering will do. We’re continuously monitoring the volcano.)

According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), the Kanlaon Volcano, which sits between Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental, logged four ashing events on Monday.

The Philippine Hotel Owners Association Inc. (PHOA) revealed their target on Wednesday, October 16, during the official unveiling of the Philippine Hotel Industry Strategic Action Plan (PHISAP) 2023-2028 at the Westin Manila Hotel in Ortigas.

In a document posted on its website, the DOE said the projects were endorsed to the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) for a system impact study.
