The agency also reported that it logged three volcanic tremors, which lasted from four to 12 minutes.

Phivolcs defines a phreatic eruption as a “steam-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).”

Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Acting Secretary Ma. Cristina Roque said the companies reaffirmed their investment plans in the Philippines during her visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Oct. 3 to 5.

Alert Level 1 remains hoisted over the volcano.

Phivolcs previously warned that entering Taal Volcano Island and flying any aircraft close to its premises is prohibited.
