00:00We are still watching out for volcanoes.

00:12Stay tuned for the activities of the Canlaon and Taal Volcanoes.

00:14We will be talking to Dr. Winchell Sevilla,

00:17supervising science research specialist of PHIVOLCS.

00:20Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.

00:22Good morning to Rafi and good morning to our listeners.

00:26What does elevated sulfur dioxide degassing in the Taal Volcanoes mean?

00:33Yesterday, on June 6, we surveyed how much sulfur dioxide is emitted in the Taal Volcanoes.

00:47We measured 11,072 tons per day.

00:51If we compare it to the average of sulfur dioxide emissions in the Taal Volcanoes this year,

00:58it's only 8,294.

01:00So it's higher than the total average for this year so far.

01:06Yesterday, we observed a vague or haziness in the towns around the Taal Volcanoes,

01:14in particular in Alitagtag, Tingloy, San Nicolas, Laurel,

01:19and other towns around it.

01:22Aside from the vagueness, what is the indication of the high level of sulfur dioxide?

01:28It means that the high volume of SO2 or SO2 gas, Taal, continues to come out.

01:36What's important here is our message to our fellowmen,

01:40especially those who live around the Taal Volcanoes,

01:44if they experience a vagueness, limit your exposure as much as possible.

01:50And protect ourselves, cover our noses,

01:53because we can use N95 masks or face masks.

01:58If we experience irritation in our lungs, drink a lot of water.

02:04This can have a negative effect, especially on our fellowmen

02:10who have problems with their lungs.

02:16Is this a possible reason to raise the alert level of the Taal Volcanoes?

02:20Not really.

02:23Aside from the high level of sulfur dioxide released by the Taal Volcanoes,

02:29other parameters like volcanic earthquakes or the eruption of its edifice,

02:34all of these are included in the alert level 1.

02:38We released an advisory to warn our fellowmen

02:43that the high level of sulfur dioxide released by the Taal Volcanoes

02:46and to take the right steps to protect ourselves.

02:52What are your plans for Tagaytay this weekend?

02:56We will be patching up if we experience irritation.

03:05So as much as possible, we will avoid it.

03:08Anyway, we are still here in Taal 24x7,

03:12so if there are any significant changes in this condition,

03:15we will immediately report it to our fellowmen.

03:18So you will continue to monitor FIVOX.

03:20What are the latest updates on your monitoring of Mt. Canlaon?

03:24Okay, on Mt. Canlaon,

03:26the alert level 2 is still high.

03:31There is a decrease in the number of volcanic earthquakes that we recorded,

03:37so 14 volcanic earthquakes.

03:39The volume of SO2 gas that we recorded is also decreasing.

03:47But despite this, the alert level 2 is still high.

03:55So our recommendation to our fellowmen is

03:59just in case there is an ashfall or a pre-attic eruption,

04:08it is important to protect ourselves so we don't get affected.

04:12And of course, to our fellowmen who live in low-lying areas or near rivers,

04:18we will consult with our local government units

04:21so we can make the right steps

04:25in case there is a heavy rainfall.

04:31Although there is no direct activity in Canlaon,

04:35is there a sufficient ashfall deposit in Dalisdis

04:38to cause more lahar flow?

04:42Possibly.

04:43So that's what our fellowmen are doing.

04:45They are mapping the extent of how far or how thick the ashfall deposit is.

04:54And what are the low-lying areas that could be affected

05:00in case there is a flea of lahar episodes.

05:04Just a quick one because a lot of people are noticing that

05:06every June 3, Mt. Canlaon erupts.

05:10What is the explanation here by PHIVOX?

05:12There are instances where Mt. Canlaon erupts on June 3.

05:16But this is just a coincidence.

05:18Just a coincidence.

05:20Okay. Thank you very much, Dr. Winchell Sevilla of PHIVOX.

05:25Thank you too.
