The Taal Volcano erupted at 4 p.m. earlier this afternoon.
00:04
Let's get an update from Rod Laguzan.
00:07
Rod.
00:09
The Taal Volcano erupted at 4 p.m. earlier this afternoon.
00:17
Based on the initial forecast by PBOX, the eruption happened around 4 p.m.
00:22
The eruption was a phreatomagmatic eruption.
00:26
According to PBOX, the eruption was very violent.
00:29
This is because the magma is in contact with the water.
00:32
According to this, we are able to interview PBOX Director Teresito Bacolcol,
00:37
who is currently working here in Handa, Philippines
00:40
in the Department of Science and Technology here in General Santos City.
00:44
Director, can you explain to the public what happened to the eruption?
00:49
What is a phreatomagmatic eruption?
00:51
Okay, so a phreatomagmatic eruption is magma coming into contact with water,
00:55
producing steam, and sometimes it has volcanic ash.
01:00
Earlier, the Taal Volcano erupted at 4 p.m.
01:06
The plume reached 2,400 meters and dispersed towards the northeast.
01:15
Right now, the Taal Volcano is silent.
01:19
Again, the eruption only lasted for 11 minutes.
01:23
Director, for comparison, one of the things the public remembers is the Taal Volcano eruption
01:28
before the pandemic in January 2020.
01:31
Is the eruption stronger than the Taal Volcano or is it stronger?
01:36
The 2020 eruption is stronger because it was a phreatomagmatic eruption.
01:41
This one is a phreatomagmatic eruption and basically,
01:44
this is just again water coming into contact with magma.
01:50
Director, you mentioned that the eruption will end, but based on the pictures and videos
01:55
that you uploaded to social media, people were able to get near the Taal Volcano.
01:59
Are we expecting an ashfall?
02:02
Well, we expect that the plume will be too high, 2,400 meters, and voluminous.
02:08
So we would expect an ashfall, but as of now,
02:13
we have not yet received a report that there are towns that were hit by ash.
02:18
Director, the eruption happened under the alert level 1 of the volcano.
02:24
Does it mean that we will raise the alert level of the volcano or is this a sign of a stronger eruption?
02:31
For now, we will maintain the alert level 1.
02:35
We have not yet recorded any volcanic earthquakes.
02:38
This is one of our reminders that the volcano has become more restive.
02:44
So for the past 12 hours, meaning 12 midnight earlier, 12 noon earlier,
02:51
we have not yet recorded any volcanic earthquakes.
02:53
For the past few days, our volcanic earthquakes are almost at the background level.
02:58
Director, just for the information of the public,
03:00
so even if a volcano is alert level 1, like the Taal Volcano,
03:04
it could happen at any given time?
03:06
That's right. Even at alert level 0, there could be a phreatomagmatic or phreatic eruption.
03:12
So our countrymen should be reminded not to go to the Taal Volcano Island
03:17
because at any time, there could be an eruption, a phreatomagmatic or phreatic eruption.
03:22
Director, just for the information of the public, now that the eruption is over, what to expect?
03:27
Should we be more alert? Activity is low, but the possibility is high?
03:32
Again, we expect that this eruption will happen again
03:38
because for the past, since April, we have had more than 40 phreatic eruptions.
03:44
So it can happen at any time as long as you have the right ingredients,
03:48
you have water and you have either hot volcanic materials interacting, it can happen again.
03:53
Director, we are here in General Santos City,
03:56
still following the program of the DOST, the Philippines,
03:59
where we are going to different parts of the country to discuss disaster preparedness.
04:06
Now that this has happened, what are our reminders to the people?
04:09
Again, we are reminding our countrymen to be vigilant.
04:13
Again, the Philippines is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire
04:16
and every now and then, we may experience volcanic eruptions like what happened earlier or paglindol.
04:21
So we really have to prepare.
04:23
When we say preparedness, it's not just the business of our office,
04:28
it's not just the business of OFIVO, it's everyone's collective duty to prepare.
04:31
Lastly, should people wear masks?
04:35
If there is volcanic ash, if they feel that there is ash, they should wear face masks.
04:41
Thank you very much for your time, Director Bacolkol.
04:45
Back to you, Maan.
04:48
Days prior to this phreatic explosion, were there any signs that this will happen, Rod?
04:58
Director Bacolkol will answer.
05:00
Well, we have phreatic eruptions.
05:03
In fact, yesterday, we issued an advisory saying that in a day, we will have phreatic eruptions,
05:11
five phreatic eruptions.
05:12
That's the reason why we're telling, informing the public to be vigilant.
05:34
Well, it's really prohibited to go to Taal Volcano Island.
05:38
That's a permanent danger zone.
05:40
So for now, that's the only thing we're recommending,
05:42
that they should not go inside the permanent danger zone, which is Taal Volcano Island.
05:56
Well, we will assess this on a day-to-day basis.
05:59
Again, for now, we haven't seen any volcanic earthquakes.
06:11
All right.
06:12
Thank you very much, Director Teresito Bacolkol and Rod Laguzad.
