00:00We have an update on the eruption of Taal Volcano in Batangas last night. We have with us Dr. Teresito Bacolcol, director of PHIVOX. Good morning director.

00:09Yes sir. Good morning to you too.

00:12Is the Taal Volcano still erupting? How is the monitoring of PHIVOX?

00:18After the pre-atomic eruption yesterday, it was not followed. I hope it will continue.

00:24For the past 24 hours, we have recorded 6 volcanic earthquakes in the Taal Volcano.

00:32Yesterday, we also measured sulfur dioxide, which reached 4,188 tons per day.

00:39Right now, it is still at alert level 1, meaning there is a low level of unrest.

00:43Please explain what is this pre-atomic magmatic eruption, director?

00:47This pre-atomic magmatic eruption happens when magma interacts with water, causing explosive steam-driven blast.

00:57That's what's happening. Let's differentiate this from the pre-atomic eruption.

01:02The pre-atomic eruption, these are steam-driven eruptions that happen when water comes into contact with hot volcanic materials.

01:10It could be hot volcanic rocks or hot volcanic gases.

01:13So there is no magma involved in the pre-atomic eruption.

01:19Is it dangerous to bring this, director?

01:22Well, if the plume is too high, for example, on December 2, it reached 2,800 meters.

01:31It is accompanied by smoke.

01:33When the smoke reaches the communities, it can cause problems in the mountains.

01:39But yesterday, it was only at 600 meters.

01:42Most likely, if there is smoke, it is only in Taal Volcano Island.

01:46So the alert level should not be raised?

01:49The alert level should not be raised.

01:52Okay. Thank you very much, V-Box director Teresito Bacolcol. Take care.

01:57Thank you very much as well.
