00:00We will continue the activity of the Taal Volcano. We will now listen to PBOX Director Teresito Bacolcol. Good morning Director.

00:08Yes. Good morning to you sir.

00:11Why is the Taal having a phreatomagmatic eruption again? What does this mean Director?

00:18The phreatomagmatic eruption means that we have magma that comes into contact with water.

00:25That's why there was an explosive event yesterday and it produced a mix of steam, ash and fragmented volcanic material due to rapid sea expansion.

00:41That's what happened yesterday. Magma coming into contact and interacting with water.

00:46How is the activity of the Taal Volcano now?

00:49The phreatomagmatic eruption yesterday did not follow this.

00:57Right now, for the past 24-hour period, we did not witness any volcanic earthquake.

01:04The sulfur dioxide emission yesterday was only at 2,530 tons per day.

01:11We are still maintaining alert level one.

01:13You are still on alert level one?

01:15Yes. You're right. We are still maintaining alert level one.

01:20So are these the indications of the expected eruption of the Taal Volcano Director?

01:27There could be another eruption. It could happen again as long as you have the right ingredients.

01:35For the past April, we already have 49 phreatomagmatic eruptions.

01:44It could follow again.

01:46That's why our countrymen are reminded to stay away from the Taal Volcano Island

01:50because anytime, even at alert level zero, there could be a phreatomagmatic or phreatic eruption.

01:56Okay. How about Canlaon Director?

02:00Canlaon Volcano is still at alert level two.

02:05For the past 24-hour period, we have witnessed 15 volcanic earthquakes.

02:12This is higher than the previous Canlaon Volcano.

02:19Although, this is still lower compared to December 11,

02:24where there were 337 volcanic earthquakes in a day.

02:28Okay. Thank you very much PBOX Director Rosito Bacolkol. Be careful.

02:34Thank you also.
