PCSO General Manager Royina Garma said they will hand out medicines, N95 respiratory masks, and grocery packs to evacuees who fled their homes following the eruption of Taal Volcano. Garma said the agency spent P950, 000 for the 3,300 grocery packs. PCSO said it is essential for the evacuees to wear N95 respiratory masks, because of the hazard posed by ash fall particles in the ambient air.
