00:00Updates on the activity of the Taal and Canlaon Volcanoes.

00:03We are joined by the PHIVOLCS Director, Dr. Teresito Bacolcol.

00:09Dr. Bacolcol, good afternoon.

00:13Yes, good afternoon to you, ma'am and sir.

00:15The Taal Volcano had a phreatic eruption on Wednesday.

00:20What is the detail of this, sir?

00:23Okay, you're right.

00:24The Taal Volcano had a phreatic eruption on Wednesday, October 9, and it reached 600 meters.

00:31But yesterday, the plume of the phreatic eruption was higher.

00:36Between 721 to 727 yesterday, we had a new phreatic eruption and it reached 2,800 meters.

00:48Director, right now, the Taal Volcano is still at Alert Level 1.

00:52Can you explain to us what are the possible hazards under Alert Level 1 of a volcano?

01:00Okay, so when we say it's at Alert Level 1, it means it's at a low level of unrest.

01:07So, different volcanoes have different hazards at different levels.

01:15If you talk about Taal, at Alert Level 1, the possible hazards would be the toxic volcanic gases that can be spread by humans and can affect our health.

01:28There can also be a saline phreatic or phreatomagmatic eruptions that we have seen from the past few days.

01:36If there is a big phreatic eruption or phreatomagmatic eruption, it can bring abo.

01:44And if we bring a lot of abo, like volcanic gases, it can also have an effect on our health.

01:52Director, why does Taal seem to be stopping its activity in the past few months?

01:58Is this the first time that Taal is showing this kind of abnormal activities or is this normal?

02:07Okay, so this is not the first time that phreatic eruptions and phreatomagmatic eruptions have happened.

02:16Right after the volcano erupted last 2020, there were phreatic and phreatomagmatic events that were also recorded in the Taal volcano.

02:25In fact, there were 5 phreatomagmatic eruptions in 2021 and 10 times again in 2022.

02:33This is normal because the Taal volcano has water.

02:37Once this water comes into contact or interacts with hot volcanic materials like hot volcanic rocks or hot volcanic gases, there can be phreatic eruptions.

02:51If the water comes into contact with magma, there can be phreatomagmatic eruptions.

02:59So again, this is normal for the Taal volcano.

03:02If the alert level is zero, there can be phreatic or phreatomagmatic eruptions.

03:08Dr. Bacolchol, here in the volcano Canlaon, what are the details of its activity after the eruption of Asupre last night,

03:17considered as a minor eruption?

03:22Now, for Canlaon volcano, its degassing or steaming activity is still ongoing.

03:27Yesterday, we recorded a steaming activity that reached 750 meters.

03:34This is not considered an eruption.

03:36The steaming activity is not considered as an eruption.

03:39It signals volcanic activity, but again, this is not an eruption.

03:45What are the possible activities that PHIVOC is looking at in the volcano Canlaon?

03:54Okay, so Canlaon volcano is now on alert level 2, meaning there is a moderate level of unrest.

03:59So there are several things that could happen.

04:02Our volcanic earthquakes could increase.

04:07For the past 24 hours, we recorded 19 volcanic earthquakes.

04:11If there are more, and if the sulfur dioxide emission increases,

04:16and if the volcanic eruptions continue,

04:20then we may raise the alert level from alert level 2 to alert level 3.

04:28Director, maybe a message and a reminder to our fellow countrymen who are near the volcanoes Taal and Canlaon.

04:36Again, we call on our fellow countrymen who live around Taal volcano and Canlaon volcano to be vigilant.

04:43And they should follow the announcements of the LGUs.

04:54Okay, Director Bacol Col is now on the line.

04:59Thank you very much for your time.

05:01PHIVOC's Director, Dr. Teresito Bacol Col.
