The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said in a bulletin on Thursday afternoon that Taal Volcano's main crater "generated a short-lived dark phreatomagmatic plume one kilometer high" at 3:16 pm. This lasted until 3:21 pm or around five minutes and was confined to the crater.

A phreatomagmatic eruption refers to "an eruption that involves both magma and water, which typically interact explosively," according to the United States Geological Survey.

The eruption prompted the Alert Level 3 declaration.

"This means that there is magmatic intrusion at the main crater that may further drive succeeding eruptions," Phivolcs said, referring to rising magma.

In a briefing on Thursday, Maria Antonia Bornas, chief of Phivolcs' Volcano Monitoring and Eruption Prediction Division, further explained what occurred.
