Residents in Laurel, Batangas and other barangays nearest to the Taal volcano were evacuated after the state seismology bureau Phivolcs raised the warning to Alert level 3 from Alert level 2 due to a phreatomagmatic eruption on Thursday.

Phivolcs has kept the Alert Level 3 warning to date.

Both Globe and PLDT Inc have said their facilities are on standby if more stations are needed in designated evacuation areas.
