Taal Volcano Emission Reaches New Highs Amidst Continued Unrest

The Taal Volcano has emitted a staggering 5,922 tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2), the highest recorded emission since last Thursday, May 16, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).

The event marks a significant increase in volcanic activity, with the upwelling of hot volcanic fluids observed in the lake.

In addition to the SO2 emissions, PHIVOLCS reported four volcanic tremors lasting between two to four minutes each.

A notable plume emission reaching a height of 2,400 meters was also observed, drifting towards the West-Northwest direction.

Despite these developments, PHIVOLCS maintains Taal Volcano at Alert Level 1, indicating continued volcanic activity and the potential for phreatic eruptions or steam-driven explosions.

Residents and tourists are advised to remain vigilant and follow updates from official sources.

The recent activity underscores the volatile nature of Taal, which has been under consistent monitoring due to its history of eruptions and its proximity to populated areas.

PHIVOLCS reiterates the importance of the Permanent Danger Zone, emphasizing that entry into this area, particularly around the main crater and the Daang Kastila fissure, remains strictly prohibited.

As the situation evolves, authorities are closely watching the volcano for any changes in activity.

The public is encouraged to heed all advisories and prepare for any necessary precautions to ensure safety.
