In an ambush interview after his speech in Fort Bonifacio Monday night, Duterte said he will go to affected areas in Batangas on Tuesday.
"Kainin ko pa 'yang ashfall na 'yan. Pati 'yang Taal, ihian ko pa 'yan," he said, assuring reporters he is healthy enough to go around Batangas.

DOST-PHIVOLCS recognizes the necessity of clarifying information being released by the Institute. We hope to address the concerns of the public arising from the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Information releases today, 22 April 2020 covering the Mabini, Batangas earthquakes.
What is happening in Mabini, Batangas, Balayan Bay and vicinity?
A series of twenty-three (23) earthquakes beneath Mabini, Batangas and adjacent areas of Balayan Bay having a magnitude range of Ms1.2- Ms3.7 has been recorded since 10:31 am today by the Philippine Seismic Network (PSN). The largest of these events occurred at 11:19 am and was felt at Intensity III in Mabini, Intensity II in Taal and Lemery and Intensity I in Agoncillo, Batangas Province.
These earthquakes occurred within 10 kilometers south of the magmatic dike that fed the January 2020 eruption of Taal Main Crater, and could thus be volcano-tectonic earthquakes associated with post-eruptive crustal re-adjustment surrounding the magmatic dike. This interpretation is supported by current GPS monitoring of ground deformation caused by the magmatic dike in the Pansipit River Valley, which shows a general subsidence of the valley since February 2020. A more detailed understanding of the processes occurring beneath Mabini, Batangas will soon be provided by ongoing analysis of Remote Sensing data.
What are tectonic, volcanic and volcano-tectonic earthquakes?
•Tectonic earthquakes are produced by sudden movement along faults and plate boundaries.
•Volcanic earthquakes produced by movement of magma or magmatic fluids or rock-fracturing beneath volcanoes.
•Volcano-tectonic (VT) earthquakes are a type of volcanic earthquake associated with failure or breakage of rock material along faults and fractures beneath active volcanoes [see references below]. The mechanism that produces tectonic earthquakes is similar, although the root causes are different. VT earthquakes are normally triggered by excess heat and pressure from, or adjustment of the crust around, a magmatic body beneath the volcano, whereas purely tectonic earthquakes are driven by regional tectonic plate motion.
Why are there changes in PHIVOLCS EQ Information?
Initially, the earthquakes in Mabini, Calaca and Lemery, Batangas were reported in DOST-PHIVOLCS Earthquake Information based on the Philippine Seismic Network (PSN) data as tectonic by default due to their occurrence within the locality of the 8 April 2017 M6.0 Mabini Earthquake. Upon review, however, of data from the Taal Volcano Network (TVN), these events were recognized as likely volcano-tectonic or VT earthquakes, relocated in the Mabini area and revised as “volcanic” in updated DOST-PHIVOLCS Earthquake Information. The magnitudes of these earthquakes were also revised to ML or local magnitude calculated by the TVN, which typically differ than the customary MS or surface magnitude calculated by the PSN, and reported as ML2.9- ML4.6 in the updated Earthquake Information.
DOST-PHIVOLCS acknowledges the need to clarify information regarding the Mabini earthquakes today and the necessity of distinguishing volcano-tectonic earthquakes from other volcanic earthquakes of direct magmatic causes. In view thereof, VT earthquakes shall henceforth be explicitly classified as “Volcano-tectonic” rather than just “Volcanic” in order to avoid confusion amongst the public. Earthquakes classified as volcano-tectonic should not be interpreted by default as being related to renewal of magmatic unrest; rather, day-to-day seismic activity in Taal Volcano is explained in the Taal Volcano Bulletins issued daily at 8:00 am. Issuances of Earthquake Information reporting VT earthquakes shall continue so that populations that have been affected by these events can be provided information especially when ground shaking has been felt.

JUST IN | Kasalukuyang naglalabas ng puting usok ang bulkang Taal ngayong umaga August 18, 2020
Sa ngayon ay nananatiling nasa alert level 1 ang bulkan
Babagsak talaga presyo lote sa tagaytay, cavite batangas

Nothing to worry about for now
Our area was affected by the Taal eruption and I have been monitoring the volcanic quakes since it hit a high of 39 last 23 April 2020
Since then, the number of volcanic quakes are going down down down, in single digits and even two instances of 0 volcanic quakes in August.
Then again, no one can control mother nature.

Happy Anniversary Taal Volcano Eruption!
Some data to chew on as we remember this day:
105 - total number of straight days to date of SINGLE digit volcanic quakes (period from 30 Sep 2020 - 12 Jan 2021)
27 - total number of ZERO volcanic quakes during the above period
25 - total number of straight days with 0-1 volcanic quakes during the above period
1.9 - average number of volcanic quakes per day during the above period
Alert Level 1 (Abnormal) remains but getting better.
Hopefully, if the trend continues, Taal will be classified NORMAL in the next month or so
