University geologists are 'already in the field,' says Dr. Marco Aurelio, director of the National Institute of Geological Science.
Ash plumes reach 'well above the height where airplanes fly,' states Dr. Gerry Baglasa of the Institute of Environmental Science and Meteorology. #TaalEruption2020
Ash clouds will move towards Region V tomorrow, predicts Dr. Baglasa. #TaalEruption2020
Air quality 'good', Baglasa says. The ash cloud over Metro Manila earlier today has moved toward eastern Luzon, making it safe to resume normal activities. #TaalEruption2020
Diwata 1 and 2 used to take pictures in profile 'for the first time' to monitor the ash plume.

Baglasa says air quality in Metro Manila never got worse than that during New Year's Eve. Panic buying and hoarding of masks are 'unnecessary'.
Ash plumes from further eruptions in the following days, if they occur, are expected to move toward region V based on predicted weather patterns.#TaalEruption2020
Chances of acid rain are 'low', says Bagtasa. #TaalEruption2020
ERRATUM: The speaker is Dr. Gerry Bagtasa of IESM, we apologise for the oversight.
