Batangas diocese asks for N95 mask donations

(UPDATE) THE Catholic Church in the province of Batangas has again appealed for N95 masks after the Taal Volcano showed an increased emission of harmful sulfur dioxide.

The Lipa Archdiocesan Social Action Center (Lasac) said the face masks are intended primarily for residents near the volcano.
