Some residents in Talisay and Tanauan, Batangas, were left concerned after water from a section of Taal Lake turned green.According to "Kuya Kim Ano Na?" on "24 Oras," Thursday, the residents, including some fishermen, had qualms about the lake's green water.

In the report, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources - CALABARZON cleared that Taal Volcano's recent activity has nothing to do with Taal Lake's water turning green.The green water, in fact, is caused by algal or algae bloom, also known as "lumot.""It's a natural process. Pag masyadong mainit ang panahon at sagana sa nutrient 'yung tubig, nagkakaroon talaga ng algal bloom," said Sammy Malvas, regional director of BFAR-CALABARZON.
