Local governments in Metro Manila suspended classes on Friday due to the presence of suspected volcanic smog or vog, but
The smog hovering over Metro Manila “is not related” to activity from Taal, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said on Friday.
In a message to reporters, Phivolcs said the vog was drifting west-southwest of the Taal Volcano, “so [it is] not going toward Metro Manila.”Based on its vog advisory on Thursday afternoon, Phivolcs said volcanic smog has lingered over the Taal Region “since the first week of September.” But by lunchtime, the smog had spread sufficiently across NCR for the MMDA Council to call for an early end of classes in all levels, for both public and private schools.
