MANILA – Philippine Authorities said Taal Volcano in Taal, Batangas is still in an alarming situation.

This after the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said Tuesday that Alert Level 2 remains in the area.

Phivolcs said it has recorded seven volcanic quakes throughout the night of Monday until early morning Tuesday wherein the strongest recorded was at 6 a.m.

As this developed, the Batangas Provincial Schools Division suspended the opening of classes in Pulo Elementary School in Talisay town and Kalawit Elementary in Balete.

Both schools are located in Volcano Island near the crater of Taal Volcano, officials said.

Local officials said they were advised to postpone the opening of classes while the volcano’s alert status remains in level 2.
