June 15, 2025

About 1,574 internally displaced persons (IDPs) affected by the eruption of Mt. Kanlaon have vacated evacuation centers in various public schools in two local government units (LGUs) in Negros Occidental ahead of the opening of classes on June 16.

Data released by the provincial government Friday night showed that in La Castellana, 463 individuals from Barangay Mansalanao and 214 individuals from Barangay Sag-ang returned home or moved to relocation sites outside the 6-km. permanent danger zone (PDZ).

In a separate report, the city government of La Carlota said 897 individuals also went back home on the same day.

“The provincial government provided buses to transport the IDPs from evacuation schools to their designated relocation sites in La Castellana. They were assisted by personnel from the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office and the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office,” it said in the decampment report.

The provincial government deployed an ambulance, a water tanker, a rescue truck, and other support vehicles as additional assistance.
