(ANSA) - BANGKOK, JAN 20 - A week after the eruption of the Taal volcano, the Philippine authorities have ordered a close to short daily visits to their homes by 110,000 people evacuated from an area of ​​14 kilometers around the mountain. The fear is that, despite the diminished activity since the day of the eruption, the volcano is "recharging" for an even bigger explosion.
"We told civil protection officers not to let anyone enter the danger zone. It's too dangerous, we imposed a squeeze," said Epimaco Densing, a secretary of the interior minister, a reporter. Although the seismic activity of the volcano has stagnated steadily since 12 January, the emissions of anhydride sulfur dioxide have increased. According to the Philippine Seismology Institute, this could indicate a magma reload phase, with potentially more disastrous consequences than the first eruption.
