LUCENA CITY 鈥� Taal Volcano in Batangas province had three phreatic or steam-driven eruptions on Sunday, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs).

The eruptions lasted from one to three minutes long, Phivolcs said in its morning bulletin on Monday.

A phreatic eruption is a 鈥渟team-driven explosion that occurs when water, beneath the ground or on the surface is heated by magma, lava, hot rocks, or new volcanic deposits (for example, tephra and pyroclastic-flow deposits),鈥� Phivolcs said.

However, the unrest is unlikely to progress into a magmatic eruption based on the background levels of volcanic earthquake activity and the detected ground deformation, Phivolcs emphasized.

During the past 24 hours, the state volcanologists also detected one volcanic tremor that lasted 10 minutes.

On Saturday, Taal Volcano also logged six volcanic tremors.

搁贰础顿:听Taal Volcano logs 12 earthquakes, 8 tremors in past 24 hours

The volcano recorded seven volcanic earthquakes accompanied by six volcanic tremors on Sept. 20

At least 12 earthquakes and eight tremors were also detected on Sept. 19, while on Wednesday, the volcano recorded three earthquakes and one tremor.

In its latest update, Phivolcs also reported the 鈥渧oluminous emission鈥� of 8,927 metric tons (MT) of sulfur dioxide, which rose 1,800 meters before drifting away in several directions.

During the latest monitoring period, authorities observed no harmful volcanic smog, or 鈥渧og,鈥� over the volcano throughout the day.

However, the state volcanologist observed the continued 鈥渦pwelling of hot volcanic fluids in the Main Crater Lake鈥� of Taal Volcano Island (TVI), locally known as 鈥淧ulo,鈥� which sits in the middle of Taal Lake.

Taal Volcano is still under alert level 1 (low level of volcanic unrest), Phivolcs said.

The agency reminded the public that Taal Volcano remained in an 鈥渁bnormal condition鈥� and 鈥渟hould not be interpreted to have ceased unrest nor ceased the threat of eruptive activity.鈥� INQ
