Apr 11 - More people have been evacuated from towns and villages
near Taal volcano, where seismologists have recorded 13 volcanic
earthquakes in the past 24 hours.
Intensity 3 and Intensity 1 volcanic earthquakes were felt in two villages
near Taal Volcano, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs)
reported.
Phivolcs said that at least one of the tremors was accompanied by rumbling
sounds, and that temperatures in the main crater lake had increased from
30.5°C (86.9°F) to 31.5°C (88.7°F).
The edifice has experienced slight inflation since the last measurements in
February, and now stands at Alert Level 2, meaning that "magma has been
intruding towards the surface."
Meanwhile, Phivolcs recorded two volcanic earthquakes in the last 24 hours
at Bulusan Volcano in Sorsogon on Luzon Island,
along with moderate steaming on the northwest vent and very weak steaming at
the southeast vent. Bulusan's status remains at Alert Level 1.
