The Philippine Sports Commission has advised all national athletes to suspend their training outdoors on Monday in light with the Taal Volcano eruption over the weekend.
The government sports agency made the announcement on all its social media platforms as safety and health precautions.
“All national team members are advised that training outdoors is prohibited at the moment in light of the ashfall due to Mt. Taal’s eruption. Keep safe,” the advisory read.
