MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Duterte administration is keeping an eye on restive Taal Volcano\u2019s activity, even after state volcanologists lowered the alert status to Level 3, Malaca\u00f1ang said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo gave the assurance the same day when the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) issued the lower alert status level due to less frequent volcanic earthquakes, slower ground deformation in Volcano Island and the volcano\u2019s caldera, and weak steam and gas emissions at the main crater.<\/p>\n

\u201cMatutuwa tayo sapagkat yung panganib eh bumababa<\/em>\u00a0(We are elated because it shows that the danger is much lower),\u201d Panelo said in an interview with dzIQ, when sought to react to Phivolcs\u2019 announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cHindi naman nagla<\/em>-lie low\u00a0ang gobyerno. Palagi tayong on our toes pagdating sa panganib na naririyan sa ating mga kababayan<\/em>\u00a0(The government does not lie low. We are always on our toes, when it comes to dangers it might bring to our fellow countrymen),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Taal\u2019s volcanic activity has declined since it started spewing clouds of thick ash and steam on Jan. 12.<\/p>\n

This prompted Phivolcs to lower the alert status from Alert Level 4 to 3, which indicates a \u201cdecreased tendency towards hazardous explosive eruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phivolcs, however, warned that there could still be a \u201csudden steam-driven and even weak phreatomagmatic expressions, volcanic earthquakes, ashfall, and lethal volcanic gas expulsions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShould an uptrend or pronounced change in monitored parameters forewarn a potential hazardous explosive eruption, the alter level may be raised back to Alert Level 4,\u201d Phivolcs said in its 8 a.m. bulletin on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Following the lower status of Taal Volcano, Batangas Governor Hermilando Mandanas announced that residents of all towns, except Agoncillo and Laurel, may return to their respective homes or places of work.<\/p>\n

Panelo said those who have been affected by the Taal Volcano\u2019s eruption should heed the government\u2019s directive.<\/p>\n

\u201cKung hindi na mapanganib, pwede nang bumalik doon. Pero \u2018yung iba, hindi pu pwede. Kailangang sundin natin<\/em>\u00a0(If it\u2019s no longer dangerous, they can go back to their residences. However, it\u2019s not advisable to return to areas that are still considered in danger zone),\u201d the Palace official said.<\/p>\n

Over 300,000 residents from areas near Taal Volcano have been evacuated due to the volcano’s unrest.<\/p>\n
