00:00We will talk to Feebox Director Teresito Bacolcol. Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:07Yes, good morning to you too sir and ma'am.
00:10Yes. Is the volcano Taal still releasing gas? What is the latest situation?
00:15Yes, the steaming of Taal Volcano is still going on.
00:20And up to now, the height of the steaming plume from Taal Volcano has reached almost 2,400 meters.
00:30What does this mean?
00:32What this means is that the volcano is still releasing gas.
00:37And what is happening here is that the steam is almost unmovable because the wind is slow.
00:45So because of this, we are having a volcanic smog.
00:50Volcanic smog is a mixture of water vapor and particulates combined with sulfur dioxide.
00:57There is no indication that the alert level here in the volcano could rise to the next level?
01:04There is no indication for now that we have to raise the alert level.
01:09In fact, for the past 11 days, we have not had a volcanic earthquake in Taal Volcano.
01:15What are the places that need to be alerted? Is it possible to reach Metro Manila?
01:22Well, it depends on the wind.
01:25If the wind is going north, it can reach Metro Manila.
01:32Our steaming now is towards west-northwest.
01:37Now, the areas that are affected so far are the areas around Taal Volcano.
01:50Most of them are in Batangas.
01:52They are in Aurel, Tuy, Calaca, San Luis, Balayan, Lemery, Talisay, Agoncillo, San Nicolás, Balete, Santa Talisita, Malvar, Alitagtag, Batangas City, and Santo Tomas.
02:07How will the strict prohibition of anyone from entering the island of Taal, which is a permanent danger zone, be implemented?
02:15How is the coordination of FIBOC with local governments?
02:18Well, we are in close contact with the LGUs.
02:23The enforcement of the permanent danger zone is done by the LGU.
02:27But we are continuously asking the LGU to inform our fellow countrymen that they are not allowed to enter the permanent danger zone.
02:37But the enforcement is done by the LGU.
02:39Very quickly, please remind our fellow countrymen that it is possible to reach Vag from Taal.
02:45Where is your location?
02:47Okay, so again, we remind people that if they have observed Vag, they have to wear a face mask, N95 if possible.
02:56They should also, if possible, do not go out first and stay inside the house.
03:04Close the doors and windows.
03:07If the storm is severe, they should drink plenty of water.
03:10Okay, thank you very much, FIBOC's Director Teresito Bacolcol.
03:14Thank you very much.
