School classes still suspended in Batangas town due to volcanic smog
LUCENA CITY — The local government of Agoncillo town in Batangas province extended on Tuesday the suspension of in-person classes in public and private schools due to the continued volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas emission from Taal Volcano, which remains under Alert Level 1. Mayor Cinderella Reyes in a memorandum issued on June 12 cited the report from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) that 'the sulfur dioxide emission is still way above normal standard.' 'Hence, upon recommendation of our MDRRM (municipal disaster risk reduction management), the June 13, 2023 in-person classes in all levels shall likewise be suspended,' the mayor said.
