5. PROVINCE CALAMITIES AND DISASTERS

Taal volcano erupted on the afternoon of January 12, 2020, 43 years after its previous eruption in
1977. According to PHIVOLCS director Renato Solidum, a phreatic eruption was first recorded at around
1 pm Philippine Standard Time (UTC+8). Loud rumbling sounds were also felt and heard from the volcano
island. By 2:30 pm, PHIVOLCS raised the alert status to Alert Level 2 after a stronger explosion was
recorded around 2 pm. It was followed by an even stronger explosion by around 3 pm that spew an ash
column measuring 100 meters, prompting PHIVOLCS to upgrade the alert status to Alert Level 3 by 4 pm.
Furthermore, Solidum confirmed that there was a magmatic intrusion that is likely the cause of the
 volcano’s phreatic eruptions on Sunday morning and afternoon. PHIVOLCS ordered an evacuation in the
towns of Balete, San Nicolas and Talisay in Batangas and other towns within the shores of Taal Lake. By
7:30 pm, PHIVOLCS upgraded the alert status to Alert Level 4 after volcanic activities intensified as
"continuous eruption generated a tall 10 to 15 kilometers (6.2 to 9.3 mi) steam-laden tephra column with
frequent volcanic lightning that rained wet ashfall on the general north as far as Quezon City and Caloocan.
Ashfall from the volcano were also experienced in Cavite and Laguna and reached as far as Metro Manila
and Pampanga.
The 2017 Batangas earthquakes was an earthquake swarm which occurred from early April to mid-
August 2017, affecting the Philippine province of Batangas and other nearby areas.
The first major earthquake occurred on April 4 at 8:58 PM (PST), with a surface wave magnitude of 5.5 on
the coast of Batangas. According to the PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale, the earthquake had an
intensity of VI (Very Strong).
On April 8, more strong earthquakes occurred in the province. PHIVOLCS recorded the strongest
earthquake as having a surface wave magnitude of 6.0, which occurred in the afternoon.
Another earthquake struck on August 11, with a surface wave magnitude of 6.3, that struck just after
lunchtime. According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) the
earthquake's epicenter was located 4 kilometers south of Mabini, saying it was tectonic in origin.

Phivolcs upgraded an earlier advisory; they previously marked the quake as magnitude 4.2.
