JULY 8, 2024
Natural disasters are among the most devastating events that can shatter the fabric of a community. On June 3, 2024, the residents of the Pontevedra region in Negros Occidental found themselves at the mercy of such a calamity when Mount Canlaon, a volcano that had lain dormant for nearly two decades, suddenly roared back to life around 6:51 pm. The eruption rained down a torrent of stones and sulfur on the nearby villages, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
