00:00Alert Level 1 in Volcan Taal has been raised after the eruption of Volcanic Smog or VOG.
00:05Residents are being asked to wear face masks.
00:08They have also cancelled classes in some affected areas as a precaution.
00:12That's all for our breaking news for tonight.
00:21Volcanic Smog or VOG has been spread from Volcan Taal to many places in Batangas.
00:26In the initial data, the affected area is not less than 20 towns.
00:29It's always in the middle.
00:31We can smell that it's not good.
00:33To the children, the children should not be here because it's harmful.
00:39Fivox explained that VOG happens when the volcanic gas is trapped in the hippopotamus and mixes with the smoke.
00:45The slow movement of the wind in Volcano Island is also a factor.
00:49That's why the VOG does not melt immediately.
00:51It should be strong so that the sulfur dioxide will not stay in one place.
00:58As of now, Volcanic Taal is still on full alert level 1.
01:01It is still prohibited to enter the island of Taal, which is a permanent danger zone.
01:05Airplanes are also being forced to avoid passing near the volcano.
01:09According to VOG, the Philippines suspended classes in some places in Batangas, Cavite, Laguna and Occidental Mindoro.
01:18Only online classes are being held as a precaution.
01:24There is also no access to Paranaque, Muntinlupa, Pasay and Las Piñas.
01:28In the monitoring of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Environmental Management Bureau,
01:34the air quality in some places in Metro Manila is very unhealthy.
01:38This is dangerous for those with heart and respiratory disease such as asthma.
01:43That's why, as the Health Department reminded,
01:45cover your nose and mouth if there is a VOG.
01:48Also wear a N95 face mask.
01:50Also avoid going out of the house.
