00:00 "A thick volcanic smog or fog was covered by the Taal Volcano,
00:06 which covered many places in Batangas and Cavite."
00:09 But according to the local government,
00:11 this does not mean that the volcano will erupt.
00:14 Paul Hernandez of GMA Regional TV reported from Southern Tagalog.
00:18 "The area around Taal Volcano was almost zero visibility this morning.
00:25 Due to the thick smoke, the sky became dark.
00:29 The volcano continues to emit sulfur dioxide or sulfur.
00:33 And when it is trapped in the thick fog and the smoke,
00:36 it emits volcanic smog or fog,
00:38 which covered many places in Cavite and Batangas."
00:42 According to PHIVOPS,
00:43 the lower level of the volcano, 4,500 tons,
00:46 of sulfur dioxide emission by Taal Volcano,
00:49 is higher than the 20,000 tons of emission in the last eruption of 2020.
00:54 It is not yet necessary to evacuate.
00:56 The volcano remains at alert level 1.
00:59 "This is not a manifestation that the volcano will erupt or erupted.
01:03 This is just a normal phenomenon in an abnormal volcano like Taal Volcano."
01:09 According to the PDRRMO Batangas,
01:12 more than 20 towns and provinces were affected by the fog in Batangas.
01:16 Because of the fog,
01:17 more than 40 students of Tuwi Senior High School were sick.
01:21 Many places were also suspended by the class earlier,
01:24 but the livelihood of others is still continuing,
01:26 like some food cart vendors in Tuwi, Batangas.
01:29 "We are wearing face masks so that we won't get a cold."
01:32 "Especially when we ride our bikes, our eyes hurt."
01:35 "We are just going slowly to avoid disgrace."
01:37 In Tagaytay,
01:38 some people went to see the Taal Volcano,
01:41 but they were also shocked by the thick fog.
01:44 "I just wanted to see the volcanic smog.
01:47 I also wanted to see the Taal Volcano,
01:49 but we couldn't see it because the smog was so thick."
01:53 Paul Hernandez, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
