MANILA, Philippines — A total of 254 volcanic earthquakes were recorded in Taal Volcano in the last 24 hours, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said Thursday.

Of the 254 tremors, 220 lasted for a minute to 27 minutes, state meteorologists added.

There were also 33 low-frequency volcanic earthquakes detected and one volcano-tectonic earthquake, Phivolcs further said.

“Activity at the main crater consisted of weak emission of steam-laden plumes from fumarolic vents that rose five meters high,” according to Phivolcs.

Alert Level 2 remains hoisted over the Taal Volcano, which is said to be among the country’s most active volcanoes.
