amid imminent threat of a hazardous eruption of restive Taal Volcano anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo made the appeal a day after President Rodrigo Duterte approved the recommendation to declare Taal Volcano Island as a \u201cno man\u2019s land\u201d or an area that is uninhabited.<\/p>\n<p>Following Duterte\u2019s order, the Philippine National Police has been tasked to bar evacuees who will attempt to return to their homes, Panelo said.<\/p>\n<p>Panelo stressed the Taal Volcano Island is a \u201cPermanent Danger Zone,\u201d which means that the locality is \u201cnot fit for human settlement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President has explicitly ordered that no individual should return to the said island, and to this end, the Philippine National Police has been tasked to prevent those seeking to return to the locality from doing so,\u201d Panelo said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Palace is therefore asking the public, particularly those who have been living in the island, for their cooperation and understanding as it is the primordial duty of the government to protect not only their safety and welfare but their very lives,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Thick volcanic ash spewed by Taal Volcano since Sunday began blanketing cars, roads, and houses near the volcano.<\/p>\n<p>Amid warnings of a possible hazardous explosive eruption of Taal Volcano, Duterte on Tuesday heeded the recommendation to declare Taal Volcano Island as \u201cno man\u2019s land\u201d to ensure public security and safety.<\/p>\n<p>Forced evacuation of people living within the 14-kilometer radius of Taal Volcano, which is considered as high-risk zone, has already been implemented.<\/p>\n<p>Panelo said thousands of displaced individuals due to the volcanic eruption in Taal can only go back to their homes, once it is declared \u201csafe.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy doxycycline online <a

pronounced that no person should stay within the Taal Volcano Island until it is declared safe by pertinent agencies of the government,\u201d Duterte\u2019s spokesman said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe directive was made in view of the activity currently taking place in the area, as well as of the possibility that a hazardous eruption may still occur,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Panelo guaranteed that those affected by the Taal Volcano\u2019s violent activity would receive appropriate assistance from the government.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the President has already extended financial aid to those who have been directly hit by the continuing eruption of Taal Volcano.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn particular, PRRD handed over PHP7.5 million to farmers and another PHP3.5 million to the fisherfolk for their means of livelihood,\u201d Panelo said. \u201cThe Chief Executive likewise issued a check to help farmers recover from their displacement and distributed family food packs to distressed families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Local Government Secretary Eduardo A\u00f1o said more policemen will be deployed to Batangas province to ensure that no residents would be able to enter the danger zone around the volcano.<\/p>\n<p>In a situation briefing at the Batangas Sports Complex, Duterte said he was \u201cvery happy\u201d with the government\u2019s response to the rumbling Taal Volcano.<\/p>\n<div
