Once upon a time, the Taal Volcano was a large volcano, in fact was one of the largest volcanoes in the world, towering 18,000 feet up in the sky. Now, it is the world’s smallest active volcano, only about 700 meters high.
One can travel from Manila by land to Taal by going through Tagaytay. With the spectacular view from Tagaytay, the Taal Volcano can be seen.
The experts (seismologist) say that the Volcano may erupt anytime now. They advised the local residents to evacuate from their residents. At the evacuation centers in Talisay, San Nicolas and Tagaytay City were down from 88 families to just 14 families. The DSWD said that they are still providing relief goods to the evacuees and that they may have to compel the families to evacuate.
Last April 19, 2011, the Philvolcs recorded six volcanic quakes and issued a alert level 2 indicating that anytime the volcano may erupt.
