Episode on April 25, 2011 Monday after Saksi! Buhay sa Danger Zone Children frolic on the shore, while their parents haul in another bountiful catch of fish found only in Taal Lake. It's an idyllic scene that can now be obliterated in seconds. Taal Volcano is among the world's most active and dangerous volcanoes, and it is acting up again, causing multiple tremors that crack walls clear across the lake to the mainland. Alert Level 2 has been raised by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology or PHIVOLCS; and the entire volcano island has been declared a permanent danger zone. Hence, authorities have been urging several thousand residents of Volcano Island to evacuate, convinced that the volcano is ready to blow. Yet many refuse to leave, afraid of losing their livelihoods. Howie Severino and his documentary team enter the danger zone on the island to see what's at stake. They discover that in addition to the island residents, many live in floating houses on the water surrounding the island and may be even more at risk in case of an eruption. The documentarists also learn about the history of Taal 's eruptions, visit ruins from past cataclysms, and realize that a major eruption will not only kill many but could rearrange one of the country's most famous landscapes. Join Howie Severino as he comes face to face with those who insist on living within the permanent danger zone. Monday, 11:30 pm in I-Witness.
Buhay sa Danger Zone Hindi lang sa mga turista nakakaakit ang Bulkang Taal kundi maging sa libo-libong mga pamilyang umaasa sa kasaganahan ng lawa nito. Ngunit habang tahimik na namimingwit ng huli ang mga mangingisda, ang kabuhayan at kagandahan ng Taal, maaaring mawala sa isang iglap. Isa ang Taal Volcano sa pinaka-aktibo at pinaka-peligrosong bulkan sa buong mundo. Dahil sa muling pag-aalboroto nito, halos sampung beses sa isang araw niyayanig ng lindol ang mga residente sa Volcano Island at maging sa karatig bayan. Kaya naman itinaas na ang Alert Level 2 ng Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology o PHIVOLCS, at idineklara na ring permanent danger zone ang isla ng Taal . Libo-libong mga residente ang inuudyok nang lumikas, ngunit mangila-ngilan lang ang sumusunod. Marami kasi ang ayaw iwan ang lawa na nagbibigay sa kanila ng kabuhayan. Pupunta si Howie Severino sa isla ng Taal para makita kung ano ang maaaring mawala sakaling sumabog ang bulkan. Matutuklasan nila na bukod sa mga residente sa isla, ay may daan-daan pang residente na nakatira mismo sa ibabaw ng lawa. Mga residenteng nasa bingit din ng peligro dahil sa aktibong bulkan. Maibubunyag ang naging bayolenteng kasaysayan ng Taal at kung paano nito nabago ang bahagi ng topograpiya ng Batangas. Makikita rin ng dokumentarista ang mga labi ng mga gusaling iniwan ng mga nakaraang pagsabog, mga labing tumatayong patunay sa kapahamakang maaring idulot ng bulkang Taal. Samahan si Howie Severino sa pagpasok niya sa loob ng danger zone ngayong Lunes, 11:30 ng gabi sa I-Witness.
