Philolcs, the Philippine volcano monitoring agency, has increased the alert level for Taal volcano. This is based on the following observations: - Increasing seismicity at shallow levels, suggesting that magma is rising beneath the surface. 21 earthquakes at 1-4 km depths were measured under the caldera in the last 24 hours. - CO2 emissions have risen to 4,760 tonnes/day in late March, 4 times more than in February. - Inflation of the volcano has been detected. - Increased steaming is observed at vents in the caldera.
