Although phreatic eruptions over Taal Volcano in Batangas province will continue, these are not sufficient to raise its Alert Level 1 status to 2, the chief of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said on Wednesday. Actually, Phivolcs Director Teresito Bacolcol told The Manila Times that the volcano has recorded over 40 similar eruptions since April this year, five of which occurred last Tuesday. Taal's latest phreatic eruption happened from 4:21 p.m. up to 4:32 p.m., Wednesday, with its plume rising to over 2,400 meters above the volcano island. Phivolcs said a phreatic eruption was made of steam-driven explosions that would occur when water beneath the ground or on the surface was heated by volcanic activity. The Phivolcs official reminded anew, especially those living near the permanent danger zone, not to go near the volcano since a phreatic eruption could also be dangerous.-
It's interesting to hear that even with over 40 phreatic eruptions since April, the alert level hasn't changed. Those eruptions can really pack a punch, with plumes shooting up over 2,400 meters! It’s a good reminder for everyone near the area to stay safe and keep their distance. Better to be cautious than sorry! 
Stay safe, everyone!
