The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) recorded yesterday three volcanic tremors in Taal Volcano along with an increase in the water temperature in its main crater. The carbon dioxide emission of the main crater lake also rose to 627 tons per day on July 7, the agency added. In contrast, Mayon Volcano slumbered the whole day yesterday, with no tremor recorded and no danger of sudden eruption. However, both volcanoes are still under Alert Level 1.

The solitary quake, which was a gentle magnitude 2.4, had an epicenter 11 kilometers deep at 26 kilometers southeast of Looc, Occidental Mindoro. Authors: RSOE EDIS
