DICES calls for donations for communities affected by Taal Volcano unrest
Over 5,000 residents in Batangas have evacuated their homes and sought shelter in evacuation centers after Taal Volcano was placed under Alert Level 3 due to phreatomagmatic eruptions.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised the alert level on July 1, and on July 4, recorded the volcano's highest sulfur dioxide emission at 22,628 tonnes per day.
Schools under the Diocese of Imus Catholic Educational System (DICES) are now accepting cash and in-kind donations for the affected communities.
Donors can coordinate with any DICES school for their donations.
A provincial donations hub has also been established by Batangas under the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office to coordinate relief efforts.
