LEGAZPI CITY — A Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) official urged the massive dredging of major channels and gullies around Mayon Volcano to prevent volcanic debris from reaching populated areas during heavy downpours.


Manuel Azurin, chief of the DPWH’s Albay engineering district, said the major channels that need to be dredged include Bonga and Buyuan, both on the volcano’s southeast flank facing this city, and those in Daraga and Sto. Domingo towns.

Earlier, officials asked some 45,000 people who fled the volcano’s wrath to return home to ease overcrowding in evacuation centers and reduce the risk of epidemics.

Health department officials said hundreds of people have been stricken with respiratory illnesses in government centers as the volcano’s eruption continued for the seventh day.

Last Thursday, scientists lowered the alert level around Mayon after a week of quiet that followed a series of explosive eruptions that spewed fountains of lava and clouds of volcanic ash up to 12 kilometers high.
