Investigation results showed a huge crack was found on the sides of the slope of Mt. Apo, which might lead to a landslide in the event of incessant rains or earthquake.
Mayor Efren Piñol warned that a tragedy similar to what happened in Daraga, Albay might befall the municipality wherein hundreds of residents died and others remain missing after mud covered the town in the wake of Typhoon Reming.
Illegal logging activities in Mt. Apo have caused denudation of the forest cover.
Piñol recently met with 19 barangay captains in his municipality and ordered them to prepare the residents and instruct them about safety measures in the event of a calamity. (GF)
