For those living on the volcano island, especially residents of two sites in the municipality of Talisay it will be safe to do this since anything might happen so people should be cautious about it.

The developments came after state volcanologists said earlier today that 98 episodes of tremors ranging from five to 12 minutes were reported from the Taal volcano, whose eruption affected half a million people for the first time in decades in January 2020, and whose effects were felt in neighboring provinces.
