MANILA, Philippines – The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Center has started informing residents--especially children, elderly and the disabled--living near Taal volcano to voluntary evacuate.

This after the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) raised Taal volcano’s alert level status to 2 after it showed increased seismic activity on Saturday.

Local and foreign tourists were advised not trek the volcano or go on boat riding around the lake.

“The public is also advice not to venture into the Daang Kastila Trail and Mt. Tabaro as steam explosion may occur not to mention the presence of toxic gas,” reported Sarita Kare of ABS-CBN Southern Tagalog.
