6 quakes logged in Taal Volcano
Six earthquakes and two volcanic tremors, each lasting six to seven minutes, were recorded at Taal Volcano over the past 24 hours.
The volcano released 1,538 metric tons of sulfur dioxide, consistent with daily emissions since July 9, and produced voluminous steam-rich plumes reaching 1,500 meters high.
Phivolcs noted that the volcano remains under Alert Level 1, indicating low-level unrest.
Despite the low alert level, entry into Taal Volcano Island, especially the Main Crater and Daang Kastila fissures, as well as boating and occupancy on Taal Lake, remains prohibited.
Flying aircraft close to the volcano is also restricted due to potential hazards such as phreatic explosions, volcanic earthquakes, minor ashfall, and possible gas accumulation or release.
