THE Philippine Army (PA) has deployed disaster response teams anew in Sorsogon to clear the ashfall and conduct relief efforts in areas heavily affected by Mt. Bulusan's phreatic eruption on Sunday.

Army spokesman Col. Xerxes Trinidad said the teams came from the Joint Task Force Bicolandia headquarters.

Coast guard personnel shovel ash to clear a road in Juban town, Sorsogon province on June 6, 2022, a day after the eruption of Bulusan volcano. The volcano in the eastern Philippines spewed a huge, dark cloud on June 5, prompting evacuations from ash-covered towns while authorities warned of possible further eruptions. Charism SAYAT / AFP
