Residents from Brgy. Mataas na Bayan, Sitio Ilaya, Lemery, Batangas also encountered on Monday sink holes that they estimated to be about 25 feet deep. These fissures first appeared when Taal Volcano erupted at the start of 2020. Residents, however said the crevasses seemed to have gotten bigger after Typhoon Rolly.
