Local government officials in Batangas province have banned fishing around the main crater of restive Taal Volcano, after state volcanologists warned of a possible eruption there.
This developed as the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology warned of possible "horizontal" eruptions along the volcano’s craters.
"Binawalan na sila ng ating pamahalaan. Pansamantala lang muna yan para di maapektuhan ang kalusugan ng ating mamamayan... pinagbawalan muna ang pangingisda at ang malapit sa bunganga," National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council executive director Benito Ramos said in an interview on dzBB radio Monday.
(Local officials in the province have temporarily banned fishing near the main crater. This is for the health of the fishermen and local residents near the main crater.)
Ramos said authorities have also closed off the Daang Kastila Trail and Mt. Tabaro, the site of Taal’s deadly eruption that killed some 300 people in 1965.
He said these three areas are possible areas of steam-driven explosions or accumulation of gases.
