Taal Volcano is currently under Alert Level 1, emitting high levels of sulfur dioxide, resulting in volcanic smog or "vog" affecting Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
The Department of Health (DOH) has issued a precautionary advisory, urging residents, especially those living near Taal Volcano, to take necessary precautions due to the hazardous effects of the sulfur dioxide emissions.
