| Manila international airport has suspended flights over the eruption of the Taal volcano, located some 55 km to the south. The volcano emitted a large plume of ash earlier in the day, triggering evacuations and shutdowns. | |
| "Flight operations at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport have been temporarily suspended due to the volcanic ash from the eruption of Taal Volcano," the Manila International Airport Authority stated. | |
| The Taal volcano erupted on Sunday, emitting a large column of steam and smoke, and subjecting the surroundings to a heavy ashfall. There are fears the eruption may escalate even further, with the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) upgrading the volcano’s alert level to 'magmatic unrest', the third of five possible warnings. | |
| The eruption prompted the evacuation of some 8,000 people living in the immediate vicinity of the restless hill, which is located on an island in the waters of its namesake lake. People living in the communities on the shores of Taal Lake have been warned that the seismic activity could trigger potentially hazardous high waves. | |
