Taal Volcano remains under Alert Level 4

Taal Volcano in Batangas remains under Alert Level 4, indicating a hazardous eruption could occur within hours to days.

Phivolcs reported persistent volcanic earthquakes and rising magma levels, suggesting that the situation has not eased.

The volcano emitted steam and had infrequent weak explosions, generating ash plumes up to 800 meters tall.

Existing fissures or cracks in nearby barangays have widened by a few centimeters.

Despite weaker surface activity observed on Wednesday, Phivolcs maintains Alert Level 4 due to ongoing seismic and magmatic activity below the surface.
