Alert Level 4 remains, 787 volcanic earthquakes recorded amid Taal unrest

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said in its 8 a.m. advisory on Sunday that the Taal Volcano Network tallied this number, including 15 low-frequency earthquakes which signify"continuous magmatic intrusion beneath the Taal edifice, which may lead to further eruptive activity."

With Alert Level 4 still in effect, hazardous explosive eruption may still occur within hours or days, Phivolcs said, adding that it was conducting further assessment of the probability of all scenarios considering the volcano's behavior.We are looking at all of the scenarios and lagi po nating ina-assess hourly, daily 'yung monitoring ng data at applicability ng alert level.

[Translation: We are looking at all of the scenarios and we keep on assessing our monitoring data hourly, daily as well as the applicability of the alert level. We are the ones who will say when we will lower the alert level.] Phreatomagmatic eruptions are brought about by the interaction between magma and water, Phivolcs earlier noted.The agency added that it is also"bothered" by the increased number of volcanic earthquakes especially now that Taal's magmatic chamber has opened up, allowing space for movement of magma underneath.

Wah. Eruption is imminent. Hope people are all out of the way of danger. It was predicted already.
