Taal Volcano may only have weak explosions as magma is already at a shallow level, said Science and Technology Undersecretary and Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) OIC Renato Solidum Jr.

A giant white plume rising from Taal Volcano is observed on Friday, July 2, 2021.

“Dahil de-gas na ang magma sa mababaw na parte, hindi po namin inaasahan na kasing lakas nung last year na mabilis na umakyat ang magma na maraming gas kaya malakas ang pagsabog ,” Solidum said in a televised briefing on Friday, July 2.A short-lived phreatomagmatic eruption at Taal’s main crater has occurred at around 3:16 p.m. on Thursday. This event generated a dark grayish plume that reached up to one kilometer high.

He reiterated that Alert Level 3 is maintained over the volcano due to continuous magmatic unrest and could trigger an explosive eruption.
