MANILA, Philippines — Taal Volcano in Batangas has shown an increase in the emission of sulfur dioxide, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported on Tuesday.

In its 24-hour observation, Phivolcs said that the volcano emitted 7,580 tons of sulfur dioxide on Monday, more than the 3,997 tons released the day before.
