THE Metro Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MMDRRMC) is on “blue alert” as Taal volcano continues to spew heavy smoke and ash.

Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Danilo Lim, concurrent head of the Metro Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (MMDRRMC), ordered all disaster and emergency response units on standby for possible dispatch.

MMDRRMC is composed of concerned national government agencies and local risk reduction and management councils of the 16 cities and a municipality in Metro Manila.

The state seismology bureau raised alert level 4 over Taal Volcano on Sunday night after it spewed smoke and ash that blanketed Batangas, its neighboring provinces in Calabarzon and spread to Metro Manila and Central Luzon. JAN ARCILLA
