Dear DND,

Good day! May I request for data on impact of the 2020 Taal eruption as of present? If possible, I would like to request for a breakdown of its effects on various sectors  (including foreign businesses, such as Japanese companies, etc) and and the actions taken by the agency as well as by the NDRRMC.

I would also like to ask if there is an action plan for the recovery after the eruption.

If there is already official data available online, i would like to request for a link. Let me know if you need more details. Thank you!
