Taal Volcano records 2 eruptions in 24 hours under Alert Level 1

Taal Volcano has recorded two eruptions in the last 24 hours, including a five-minute phreatic eruption and a 13-minute phreatomagmatic event, while remaining under Alert Level 1 (Low-level unrest).

The most recent eruption occurred early Thursday morning, October 2, 2025, following a minor phreatomagmatic eruption on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, which produced an ash plume reaching 2,500 meters high.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) recorded a total of 10 volcanic earthquakes and noted high Sulfur Dioxide gas flux at 1,892 tonnes per day.

Signs of internal pressure include short-term inflation of Taal Volcano Island and a steam plume from the main crater rising 600 meters high.

PHIVOLCS maintains a reminder that the volcano remains in an abnormal condition despite the low alert level, with entry into Taal Volcano Island and flying aircraft near its summit still prohibited.
