As thousands of people started evacuating due to the restive Taal on Thursday, President Rodrigo Duterte joked he would place a cap on the volcano's crater, before he gave assurance that the government is ready to provide aid in any possible calamity.

Authorities have started evacuations south of Manila after Taal spewed a 1-kilometer high plume of gas and steam, which prompted authorities to raise the volcano's alert status."Hindi ko malaman kung, dumaan man kami kanina, konti lang. Siguro lagyan ko lang ng cap, yung butas. Taal na yan," he said in a press briefing.

"Iyong ibang trabahante ko, hindi ko nakita, baka nahulog na doon sa butas. I was expecting to see them here," he added. "It could get worse. But I said, there will be instant gratification because there are workers on the ground ready. Iyan ang gusto ko sa military, methodical ang ano nila. And the rest are also good," he said.

Water in Taal's crater boiled before and after its eruption, a video posted on the Facebook page of the seismology agency showed.
