Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology , in its latest advisory, said that Taal was having"infrequent weak explosions," emitting ash plumes up to 600 meters into the air, and sulfur dioxide “at an average of 360 tons a day," lower compared to other days. Despite these, Solidum said there is still no definite trend showing that Taal’s activities would stop anytime soon, meaning a hazardous eruption may still occur within hours to days.na humina siya. At habang may paggalaw ng[Translation: We are not seeing any definite trend using our Taal volcano monitoring network that the volcano is calming down. And as long as there's movement of magma, the activity has not stopped.

On Friday, Mariton Bornas, chief of Phivolcs’ Volcano Monitoring and Eruption Prediction Division said that they were in talks with their international counterparts to get an outside-in perspective on Taal’s restlessness. Bornas said that so far they have not missed anything. Solidum said that unlike other volcanoes in the Philippines such as Mt. Mayon, Taal erupts in a more complex way because of how its magma reaches the surface.
