Other parts of Luzon affected by Taal Volcano eruption

The recent eruption of Taal Volcano—which has been declared under Alert Level 4—has affected numerous cities and provinces in the entire region of Luzon.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has recently declared Taal Volcano under Alert Level 4 following its eruption on January 12. Alert Level 4 means a “hazardous eruption is imminent.”
Thousands of villagers and residents in nearby communities have been evacuated and Phivolcs warned of a possible “volcanic tsunami” and advised to take precaution from the lake that surrounds the volcano.
Taal’s explosion sent a plume of ash half a mile into the air, and tremors were felt around Batangas and Tagaytay. The ash from the volcano is also currently affecting other provinces in Luzon. These areas have been placed under Ashfall Advisory.
