Philippines Braces for Violent Volcano Eruption - May disrupt tourism

Bali  World News & Views Breaking News.

2020-13-8:14 

Update all flights have been suspended and the Filipino stock exchange has been closed in anticipation of a pending violent volcanic eruption close to the capital of Manila.

Very sad to hear that our neighbours to the north in the Philippines may be suffering yet another natural hazard as a volcano very close to Manila is expected to erupt at any moment.

We highly recommend anyone planning to transit or arrive at Manila airport to change their plans.



Update 2020-13-8:43 

Let's pray that this volcano does not affect Manila and its 14 million residents only 64 km away.




IDoing a little research based on my experience with volcano's it appears to me that the prevailing winds right now will blow any volcanic dust in a 90° angle to Manila.


 Therefore unless the winds change at this very moment there should not be any problem with Manila itself. Although I cannot guarantee it as I am not there.

If I was the Filipino government I would warn and prepare for evacuation all Individuals within a 30 km zone Northwest, West and Southwest of Lake Taal


Although it will definitely affect air traffic coming in Manila.


Lets's pray it does not blow and if it does no lives are lost or injured.

Evacuation underway as flights canceled, schools told to shut

Alert status raised to level 4 from 1 in less than 12 hours

The Philippines said there is an imminent threat of a hazardous eruption of the Taal Volcano, now rumbling and spewing ash and smoke just 65 kilometers (40 miles) south of the capital Manila.

Officials ordered nearby schools and government offices closed as they began to evacuate thousands, warning that as many as 200,000 people could be forced from their homes.

A “hazardous explosive eruption is possible within hours to days,” the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said in an advisory Sunday as it raised the alert status to level four from one in less than 12 hours.


Volcanic activity at the main crater had intensified accompanied by steam-driven eruptions and which led to tremors and earthquakes.

Ninoy Aquino International Airport, in Manila, suspended all flights “until further notice” as ash began accumulating on ramps and runways, airport officials announced. Nearly 170 flights have been canceled.

Encouraging private companies to do the same, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the suspension of schools and government offices in Manila and its neighboring towns, cities and provinces.

Over 6,000 have been so far evacuated around Taal. This could rise to over 200,000 based on the contingency plan of Batangas province, which has said 11 of its towns and cities will be affected, according to Jovener Dupilas, information officer of Region IV-A’s Office of Civil Defense.

He said evacuations have also started in some parts of Cavite, a province that also neighbors Taal.

“Our problem is access to affected areas,” Dupilas said. “The ash fall is so thick and heavy that visibility is poor and some trees even fell.”

Taal Volcano is a tourist attraction and is among the nation’s most active volcanoes. The Philippines is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. Battered by about 20 typhoons annually, the country also sits on the “Pacific Ring of Fire” and is subject to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Between 2000 and 2016, natural disasters in the Philippines caused over 23,000 deaths and affected 125 million people, according to the Asian Development Bank. The socioeconomic damage was about S$26.96 billion with average annual damage at S$1.62 billion, it said.

In 2018, tens of thousands were evacuated as Mayon Volcano, one of the Philippines’ major visitor attractions because of its near-perfect cone, erupted. There are 24 active volcanoes in the Philippines, with Taal considered the second-most active.



In December, 19 people died after a New Zealand volcano island unexpectedly erupted in a forceful explosion of scorching steam, gas and ash.

The Philippine volcanology agency “strongly reiterates total evacuation of Taal Volcano Island and additional evacuation of areas at high risk to pyroclastic density currents and volcanic tsunami within a 14-kilometer radius from Taal Main Crater,” it said.

“Civil aviation authorities must advise aircraft to avoid the airspace around Taal Volcano as airborne ash and ballistic fragments from the eruption column pose hazards to aircraft,” the agency said.

The entire volcano island is a permanent danger zone and communities around the Taal Lake shore should take precautionary measures, as well as be vigilant in case of lake-water disturbances, the agency said in a previous advisory.

There’s “danger that the affected area will be bigger than the island,” Philvolcs Director Renato Solidum told radio station DZZM earlier. “Airplanes shouldn’t fly through Taal and shouldn’t land where there is ash or where the ash will be blown.”

aal Volcano (FilipinoBulkang Taal) is a complex volcano located on the island of Luzon in the Philippines.[1] It is the second most active volcano in the Philippines with 34 historical eruptions. All of these eruptions are concentrated on Volcano Island, an island near the middle of Taal Lake. The lake partially fills Taal Caldera, which was formed by prehistoric eruptions between 140,000 and 5,380 BP.[2] Viewed from the Tagaytay Ridge in Cavite, Taal Volcano and Lake presents one of the most picturesque and attractive views in the Philippines.[3] It is located about 50 kilometres (31 miles) south of the capital of the country, the city of Manila.
The volcano has had several violent eruptions in the past, causing loss of life in the island and the populated areas surrounding the lake, with the death toll estimated at around to 6,000. Because of its proximity to populated areas and its eruptive history, the volcano was designated a Decade Volcano, worthy of close study to prevent future natural disasters. All volcanoes of the Philippines are part of the Pacific Ring of
