MANILA, Philippines — How would the massive volumes of ash from the restive Taal Volcano affect the agricultural areas where they fell? For one agricultural expert, the ashfall spewed by Taal Volcano was “entirely different” from the ashfall that blanketed a large swath of Luzon during the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption. “It is my contention that the powdery volcanic ashfall from Taal eruption is rich in vitamin K than the K-deficient nature of sandy ash fall from Pinatubo,” he said. Inquirer calls for support for the victims of Taal volcano eruption Responding to appeals for help, the Inquirer is extending its relief to the families affected by the recent eruption of Taal volcano.
