Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 11) — Taal Volcano remained restless as state seismologists recorded 74 volcanic earthquakes in the past 24 hours, maintaining Alert level 3 over the volcano in Batangas Province.
In its 8 am bulletin, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said it observed 13 low-frequency volcanic earthquakes and 61 volcanic tremors having durations of one to 25 minutes on Saturday.
High levels of volcanic sulfur dioxide averaging 6,488 tons per day were also observed, it said.
Taal Volcano also emitted steam-rich plumes as high as 1,000 meters from the main crater, Phivolcs said.
Given its volcanic activities, Alert level 3 stays over Taal Volcano.
