At least 26 areas in Negros island were affected by ashfall following the eruption of Mt. Kanlaon last Monday, December 9.
In its latest report, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), said that ash fall was reported in a wide area west of the volcano.
In Negros Occidental, these are Hinigaran, Valladolid, Pulupandan, Pontevedra, San Enrique, La Carlota, La Castellana, Murcia, and Bago City in Negros Occidental, and Canlaon City in Negros Oriental.
Areas in Western Visayas also suffered ashfall, Phivolcs added, and this was due to the west-southwest direction of the wind.
These areas included Tigbauan, Igbaras, Miag-ao, Oton, Guimbal, Pavia and Iloilo City in Iloilo; San Jose de Buenavista, Belison, San Remigion, and Patnongon in Antique; San Lorenzo, San Miguel, Nueva Valencia, and Sibunag in Guimaras.
