Mount Bulusan is considered as a stratovolcano, which can be found in Sorsogon, in the Bicol Region. It was last reported to have erupted in 2017.
Previously, it was Taal Volcano, which got the attention of everyone due to its activity. According to Phivolcs, the said volcano had a heightened possibility of another eruption On its social media page, Philvolcs likewise posted snapshots of the “relative calm at the surface” Taal Volcano Island. Phivolcs, however, previously publicized that the Taal Volcano Network has been recording “numerous imperceptible volcanic tremors.”
Back then, Phivolcs raised the alert status of Taal from Alert Level 2 to 3. This, after the volcano in Batangas "generated a short-lived dark phreatomagmatic plume one kilometer high." The agency also said that there is magmatic intrusion at Taal’s main crater that may further lead to succeeding eruptions. Phivolcs likewise shared a video showing the volcano’s phreatomagmatic eruption which immediately went viral.
