Kanlaon Volcano Erupts, Prompting Evacuation Orders

Mt. Kanlaon, one of the Philippines' most active volcanoes, erupted on Monday afternoon, prompting authorities to raise the alert level and order evacuations.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported that the eruption began at 3:03 p.m., sending a three-kilometer high plume of ash into the air. Pyroclastic density currents, fast-moving flows of hot gas and volcanic debris, were also observed descending from the slopes.

In response to the eruption, Phivolcs raised the alert level for Kanlaon from 2 to 3, indicating a magmatic eruption. The agency has advised local government units within a six-kilometer radius of the volcano to evacuate residents in the affected areas.

This is the second eruption of Kanlaon this year. The volcano experienced a phreatic (steam-driven) eruption in June.

Phivolcs has stated that further details regarding the eruption will be released soon.

JUST IN! Finance Secretary Ralph G. Recto is optimistic about the Philippinesโ€™ economic prospects in 2025, citing the recent enactment of two key laws aimed at boosting the tourism industry and strengthening food security.

President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. signed into law Republic Act (RA) No. 12079, the Value-Added Tax (VAT) Refund Mechanism for Non-Resident Tourists Act, and RA No. 12078, the Amendments to the Agricultural Tariffication Act.

Secretary Recto highlighted the importance of RA 12079 in boosting tourism spending: โ€œIt is high time that the Philippines catches up with countries around the world that have long implemented a standard VAT refund system. This strategic initiative aims to encourage foreign tourists to spend more in our country, stimulating our domestic economy. With increased tourism spending, we will have higher revenues to collect and we can create more jobs, raise incomes, and accelerate economic growth.โ€

Under this new law, non-resident tourists will be eligible for VAT refunds on locally purchased goods, aligning the Philippines with international standards and aiming to incentivize increased spending.

The law mandates that goods must be purchased in person from accredited stores and taken out of the country within 60 days of purchase. The minimum purchase amount is set at PHP 3,000, but the Secretary of Finance may adjust this based on consumer price index recommendations.

The DOF is tasked with establishing and operating a VAT refund system through reputable, internationally recognized operators. Implementing rules and regulations for the new law are expected within 90 calendar days from its effectivity.

The DOF estimates that the economic impact of increased tourism spending due to the VAT refund could boost economic output by PHP 2.8 billion to PHP 4.0 billion annually.

Hon. Rodell Ramos Praises Congressman Haresco as a Great Leader for all Aklanons

Batan, Aklan โ€” In a passionate and rare public statement, former Batan Mayor, Hon. Rodell Ramos lauded Congressman Teodorico โ€œNonongโ€ Haresco Jr., calling him a โ€œgreat leaderโ€ whose unparalleled dedication has left a lasting impact on the province of Aklan. Ramos, known for his fiery leadership style, expressed his readiness to join forces with Haresco to push Aklan toward greater heights.

โ€œI have witnessed the good leadership of Congressman Ted Haresco, and I see that he provides the right benefits, especially for the poor. That is why I decided to run, because I saw Congressman Tedโ€™s excellent leadership." Ramos declared.

"Maybe this is my chance to work with him so that we can help not just the First District or the Second District, but the entire province of Aklan." He added.

Ramosโ€™ endorsement comes amid rising speculation about potential political alliances as Aklan grapples with challenges that demand strong leadership and unity. Harescoโ€™s track recordโ€”marked by groundbreaking infrastructure projects and grassroots programsโ€”has won him widespread acclaim, and Ramos made it clear that he believes Aklanโ€™s future is brighter with Haresco leading the charge.

The former mayorโ€™s statement sent ripples across the province, sparking conversations about the power of collaboration in achieving meaningful change. With Ramos and Haresco potentially aligning their efforts, many Aklanons are now watching with anticipation, hopeful for a new era of progress driven by bold vision and shared purpose.

Diana Buela Praises Congressman Ted Haresco for Transforming Lives

Diana Buela, Cousin of Demetrio Nervar, recently shared her heartfelt gratitude for the life-changing assistance provided by Congressman Ted Haresco. Nervar, who has long struggled with mobility challenges, received medical assistance and a wheelchair from Haresco, bringing newfound ease and independence to his daily life.

Buelaโ€™s gratitude doesnโ€™t stop there. She also highlighted the scholarships her children received through the congressmanโ€™s educational support program. These scholarships have opened doors to brighter futures, easing the financial strain on her family and fueling her childrenโ€™s dreams of success.

"Sir, thank you so much for the help youโ€™ve given us, sir, like this wheelchair and the scholarships you provided for my children. Whatever we ask from you, you always grant it. You truly help us anytime, sir. Thank you so much, sir, for everything youโ€™ve done for us. Sir, we are always here for you, anytime, always here to support you. Thank you, sir." Buela shared, her voice filled with emotion.

Congressman Harescoโ€™s commitment to serving the community has made a significant impact on countless lives. From empowering students with education to providing essential assistance to those in need, his initiatives are a testament to the transformative power of compassionate leadership.

For Buela and her family, the support theyโ€™ve received is more than just material helpโ€”itโ€™s a beacon of hope and a reminder that leaders who genuinely care can make all the difference.
