On Monday, January 13, Magic 89.9's DJ Tony Toni shared on Instagram the photo of the aerial view of the seemingly "stable, peaceful" Taal Volcano hours before its phreatic eruption Sunday afternoon. He was on board an airplane when he captured the photo.
The Boys Night Out host wrote in his caption, "Flew over Taal on a lazy Sunday morning just a few hours before it began to first emit smoke. Looks stable, peaceful but this is one of the lowest & deadliest volcanoes.
"This is the first time Taal Volcano erupted since 1977 at Mt. Tabaro."
In the same post, DJ Tony Toni asked the public to take safety precautions during the volcanic eruption, and put attention to pets and other animals as well.

He continued, "Try to relocate as far from Taal & stay indoors. Make sure to cover your nose/mouth with a damp towel & if you have pets or livestock, please don't forget about them!"
DJ Tony Toni concluded, "Praying for everyone's safety."
As of 8:00 a.m of January 13, Alert Level 4 still remains in effect over Taal Volcano, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS). This means that hazardous explosive eruption may occur within hours to days.
