Taal Volcano’s outburst has wreaked havoc on the tilapia and bangus (milkfish) farms in lakeshore towns in Batangas, the Department of Agriculture (DA) reported.

Fishermen check their boats at the lake beside Taal Volcano in Talisay, Batangas province on Friday. The volcano remains life-threatening despite weaker emissions and fewer tremors. Thousands of displaced villagers have been advised not to return to the danger zone.
