Phivolcs reports minor phreatic eruption at Taal Volcano
Taal Volcano in Batangas province experienced a minor phreatic eruption on Monday morning, October 13, 2025, with plumes reaching 900 meters.
A phreatic eruption is a steam-driven event caused by the heating of groundwater by volcanic heat sources.
PHIVOLCS maintains Alert Level 1 for Taal Volcano, indicating an abnormal condition.
Entry to Taal Volcano Island, particularly the Main Crater and Daang Kastila fissure areas, remains strictly prohibited, along with flying close to the volcano.
While 21 volcanic earthquakes were recorded around Taal from Sunday to Monday, sulfur dioxide emissions measured at 272 metric tons were drastically lower than the daily average of 1,829 metric tons since September 30.
PHIVOLCS stated that the unrest is unlikely to progress into a magmatic eruption.
