Para ipagdiwang ang kaniyang 50th birthday, nagbigay ng #LibrengSakay sa kanyang jeep ang driver at Bayan Patroller na si Rudy Guico ng Bauan, #Batangas.

"#Phivolcs also observed a slight increase in #SulfurDioxide emissions in the past two weeks. From an average of less than 3,000 tons per day between April 1 and May 21, the average rose to 5,360 tons per day between May 22 and June 1." #Philippines#Volcanoes
"#MANILA, #Philippines – Residents of the municipalities of Balete, Laurel, and Agoncillo in #Batangas province reported volcanic smog or #vog on Sunday morning, June 4, coming from Taal Volcano.
