Taal Eruption 2020

[Verbl Kint]

I recall that before Yolanda you had the BBC, CNN, all the major news organizations and newspapers of the world saying that this was the strongest typhoon in recorded history.

The DILG secretary then, Mar Roxas, even flew in to warn the LGU's.


What does Tacloban Mayor Alfred Romualdez do? He disregarded all these warnings and goes to his BEACH RESORT, right in the path of Yolanda.


Yung nangyari noon nangyayari ulit ngayon.

That is not PHIVOLCS' job, that is the job of the LGU and the DILG and the PCOO.

We tend to NOT vote for the smartest candidates these days, and vote on those who have appeal to the masses instead or are entrenched oligarchies. This results in local government officials with a science aptitude way below that of an average high school student in the EU.

Case in point: the Mayor of Tacloban during Yolanda, Alfred Romualdez, brought his family to a beach resort where the strongest typhoon in recorded history was about to make landfall. Imagine how many lives could have been saved had he ordered a mandatory evacuation instead.

Ideally nga PNA, OCD at NDRRMC na nga dapat. Kaso for the former most are MassCom, and sagot nila kaya nga kami nga-MassCom para makaiwas sa science at math. For the latter 2, same din, good speakers, but not well-versed sa technicals, those that do understand are few and far between.

Going to say this again but the way I see it Taal has not erupted for so long a time that most people in the area can't accept that they gambled by living near a volcano and lost. Happy times have ended.

The situation in Taal is so different from what I saw and experienced at Mayon.

due to lack of education / dullness / inability to absorb anything above grade 1 english, a lot of pinoys operate on gut feel / intuition / faith and it works for them

(explains Nazareno Traslacion)

all their lives they survived / thrived on bahala-na-ang-Diyos and diskarte

kaya madami pinoy see no need for science

kaya di tulad sa ibang bansa walang bilib o respeto ang mga masang pilipino sa mga experto / scientist / matatalinong tao

A bit OT probably but napansin ko lang, marami pa din ang nagrerefer sa “PHIVOLCS” as “PHILVOCS”.

I'm predicting the next crisis that we'll be dealing is the new strain of SARS virus. Chinese new year is coming up and mag uwian mga chinese dito. Baka pagbalik ng mga yan meron ng mga carrier.

If mga suicidal at magpapa tigok yan jan ng tuluyan, baka maging most hunted vulcanoe pa yan...

Also, yung if may hot spring, magiging hot lake ba rin yan dahil sa magma... sarap kaya maligo? Yung hindi acidic ang dating sana....

Oo masarap maligo dyan parang pansol sa laguna, pwede ka pa umihi kahit sabay sabay kayo maligo, since hot spring sya disinfected kagad yun ihi , wag ka nga lang mag butterfly stroke kasi humihinga sa bibig yun

OB hindi ba lalo ka nacoconvince mag e-end of the world na?

dumagdag pa etong bagong pneumonia-causing virus

[minicarph]

Hinde ba pwede icompare sa boiling water in a pot or mantika for that matter? Pinaka simple yun suntok? Mas naiintindihan ng mga displaced residents yun suntok?

"lumubog yun pisngi, namaga sa kabila kaya nag crack sa taas" something to that effect...

Kung ganyan mag explain wala talagang makikinig na mga nakatira doon.

actually, yan na nga pinakamaganda explanation kung madami basagulero sa mga yan, from the way they are acting and ignoring warnings, pasaway at lumalaban sa pulis, na sense kagad ng director ng Phivolcs ang the best explanation

OB lumampas na Jan 20 di sumabog taal

so ano next? Feb 20?

pag di parin? March 20?

haha
