Residents of many areas in the province of Batangas woke up with thick ashfall caking landscapes after the ongoing Taal volcanic activity.
Over an inch of ash blanketed Alitagtag, Lemery, Bauan in Batangas.
Tagaytay City in Cavite and Cabuyao in Laguna were not spared from the thick ashfall, turning most roads, roofs, trees and almost almost everything around into grey.
Everly Catibog posted some photos of the situation in their area at Brgy. Bukal in Lemery in the early hours of Monday.
Almost zero visibility was observed on the roads as ashes were expelled from the volcano during its volcanic activity yesterday.
The particles were being carried by winds and passing vehicles, creating a thick layer of dust-like material in the air and road surface.
The Philippine Seismic Network has recorded 75 earthquakes as of 5 a.m. of January 13, 2020. Such intense seismic activity according to PHIVOLCS means that continues magmatic intrusion is present beneath the volcano’s edifice which may lead to further eruptions.
At least 32 quakes were recorded with intensities ranging from Intensity II-V in Tagaytay City, Alitagtag, Lemery, Bauan in Batangas and Cabuyao in Laguna.
