With recurring “elevated unrest” observed at Taal Volcano, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology has warned of possible explosions which may threaten areas within and around the volcano island.

[Translation: This means anytime, we may have phreatic or small phreatomagmatic eruptions at the Taal Volcano island.]“Ang phreatic po, ibig sabihin po nito naiinitan lang o nakukuluan lamang ‘yung tubig sa ibabaw ng bulkan,” Bornas said. “So ‘yung nakuluan lamang po na tubig nagiging steam, ito po ‘yung pumuputok.”

The Phivolcs official noted, however, that the explosions which may occur are expected to be less intense than the January 2020 magmatic eruption.
