00:37The foul smell and ash brought by the eruption of Taal Volcano this morning.
00:52It lasted for four minutes.
00:54According to PHIVOX, the Taal Volcano had a minor phreatomagmatic eruption for the third time this year.
01:05First of October 2, followed by October 5.
01:09But the strongest eruption this morning reached 2,800 meters of plume or smoke.
01:15The cause of this is that the lake water seepage to the shallow part of the magma.
01:23It's like a hot pan, very hot.
01:26Try to put water, it will explode.
01:29But this activity of the volcano is normal after the major eruption of 2020.
01:34According to PHIVOX.
01:35The people of Talisay are lucky because they were not directly affected.
01:40It's normal and life continues.
01:43The children continue to go to school.
01:45But the ash fall hit the town of Buso Buso in the town of Laurel.
01:50The land also collapsed.
01:53These students are in the school where the ash and rain fell at the same time.
01:59It smells bad.
02:01It's white.
02:03It's so bad.
02:05Wow.
02:08The class was suspended immediately.
02:10It's like it's all white.
02:13That's why it's suspended.
02:16And also because of the smell of the volcano.
02:19The smell?
02:21Yes, it hurts my head.
02:23Some residents stayed inside their house.
02:27I was just inside.
02:30They took the children out.
02:34PHIVOX asked the residents to wear face masks
02:38as a countermeasure against the ash and bad smell from the volcano's sulfur dioxide.
02:44Usually, those affected have respiratory problems.
02:49The elderly are also sensitive.
02:54Aside from Laurel and PHIVOX,
02:56ash falls also hit the town of Barangay Poblacion in Agoncillo.
02:59The residents are cleaning their houses.
03:02If we let this happen, the hero will be in trouble.
03:07That's why we need to clean it.
03:09That's why we need to clean it.
03:11It was thick earlier.
03:14Vicky, the alert level 1 is still high in Taal
03:19and there is no indication that PHIVOX needs to be raised to alert level 2.
03:25And there is also no signal, Vicky,
03:28that the major eruption of 2020 can happen again.
03:32Vicky.
03:33Thank you very much, Jun Veneracion.
