Government volcanologists on Friday lowered Taal Volcano’s alert status from Level 3 to Level 2, which is characterized by “decreased unrest.”

MANILA, Philippines —

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology , in its 8 a.m. Taal Volcano bulletin, downgraded the volcano’s alert status after observing “decreased magmatic unrest and generation of weak steam-laden plumes” in the activity of the main crater.“Alert Level 2 means that there is decreased unrest but should not be interpreted that unrest has ceased or that the threat of an eruption has disappeared,” Phivolcs said.

“Should an uptrend or pronounced change in monitored parameters forewarn a potential eruption, the Alert Level may be raised back to Alert Level 3,” it added.
