MANILA, Philippines –  Disaster officials have set up additional evacuation centers in Sorsogon to accommodate thousands of evacuees in an event of a major explosion of the restive Mt. Bulusan.
MANILA, Philippines - Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes is asking concerned agencies to act against FM radio stations using profane and obscene languages on their shows.


National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) executive officer and retired Army general, Benito Ramos reported as of yesterday, there are already a total of 52 evacuation areas that have been put up from a safe distance of Mt. Bulusan.
In a report from the CBCP News, Bastes said: “Dapat talagang i-monitor at parusahan ng KBP (Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas) ang mga anchor-DJ’s (disc jockeys) sa radyo na malaswa magsalita.
 
These evacuation centers – 15 in the town of Juban; 15 in Gubat, five in Casiguran; five in Irosin; 11 in Bulusan; four in Barcelona; and eight in Sorsogon City – can accommodate a total of 49,218 persons at one given time, Ramos said.
“Nakakahiya yan. We should use good words on air na makakatulong upang maiangat ang pagkatao at moralidad ng mga Filipino,” he said.
 
Ramos said the putting up of the evacuation centers is in line with the ongoing preparation being undertaken both by the national, regional, provincial and municipal-attached disaster units due to the continuing abnormal behavior of Mt. Bulusan.
He is referring to radio programs that accept calls from the public. The DJ then gives them advice on relationships, including sex matters.
 
Disaster officials in coordination with the country’s volcanologists installed signages around Mt. Bulusan, warning the public not to venture within the four-kilometer danger zones.
“Some of the DJs, especially in midnight programs, are using indecent language and vulgar language, which is not good,” said Bastes.
 
“Bulusan siesmic monitoring network has detected 41 volcanic earthquakes during the past 24-hour observation period,” Ramos said as he reminded residents around the area to be alert and be ready to move to safe grounds if the need arises.
Other programs even discuss sexually-oriented topics, he said. DJs even use “double-meaning” words, he noted.
