00:00 Volcanic smog is still present in Taal Volcano. We will be able to watch this morning.
00:05 PBOX Director Dr. Teresito Bacolcol. Good morning, Director Bacolcol.
00:11 Good morning to you, ma'am.
00:14 Director, is this volcanic smog from Taal Volcano? Is this a new incident of volcano eruption?
00:19 Or is this the same one since last week?
00:23 This is a continuous eruption since after 2020 eruptions.
00:30 Taal Volcano is continuously being affected by sulfur dioxide.
00:33 So for as long as Taal Volcano is spewing out sulfur dioxide, the threat of volcanic smog is always there.
00:40 But there are days when there's no volcanic smog.
00:44 Yes. It depends on the strong winds. If the wind is strong, the smog will easily disperse.
00:53 If the wind is strong, the smog will easily disperse.
00:59 If it rains, the sulfur dioxide will easily melt.
01:03 Speaking of wind, what are the places affected by smog?
01:07 Is that the direction of the wind?
01:13 Yes, that's right. It depends on the direction of the wind.
01:16 Yesterday, the northwest and southern sides were affected.
01:23 So the one who reported to us yesterday was Talisay, which is in the northwest.
01:28 In Laurel, it's in the northwest. In Calaca, it's in the southwest.
01:32 In San Jose, it's in the southeast. And in Batangas City, it's in the south.
01:36 Can this smog reach Metro Manila, Director? And if there are other places that are farther away, can it reach Metro Manila?
01:46 It depends on the direction of the wind. It can reach Metro Manila if the wind is north.
01:52 But basically, if we're going to get closer to December, the smog will enter from the northeast to the southwest.
02:03 So we can see that the smog is affected in the west and south.
02:09 Although there are reports from the northern side, but most of the reports are from the west and southwest.
02:16 What are the places that can be affected by the smog? Should people wear masks?
02:23 Again, if they have a smog, they have to wear a face mask.
02:28 If they have a smog, they have to wear a face mask.
02:33 If they have a smog, they have to wear a face mask.
02:37 If they have a smog, they have to wear a face mask.

02:45 If they have a smog, they have to wear a face mask.
02:49 If they have a smog, they have to wear a face mask.
02:59 If they have a smog, they have to wear a face mask.
03:03 If they have a smog, they have to wear a face mask.

03:23 If they have a smog, they have to wear a face mask.
