MANILA - The Philippine government has increased vigilance following the increased activity of a volcano, a distance adjacent to the capital city of Manila. The government is now preparing for a possible eruption will occur.
Volcanic earthquake was detected 20 times at Taal volcano during the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology, magma is believed to be trying to get out of the surface of the volcano.
While the water in the crater of Mount Taal reportedly heating up. At the same time, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions from this volcano increased from 1875 tons per day in February, to 4670 tons per day until the end of March.
"If this continues, we will likely increase the level of vigilance," said researcher Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology Paul Alanis, as quoted by AFP on Saturday (04/16/2011).
Alanis added, this does not mean the condition of the volcano eruption is imminent. While confirming that the volcano was not in stable condition.
The Philippine government has ordered approximately 7 thousand people living near the volcano were evacuated immediately. But only 163 people who followed the evacuation orders.
