PAGCOR pulling down the shutters at Casino Filipino<\/a><\/strong><\/em> saying it was mandatory action it must take in such a situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, all other venues, such as Okada Manila and Resorts World Manila, are operating normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The volcano erupted on Sunday after warning signs that activity was on its way in December last year. The eruption sent ash 1.6 kilometres into the sky, burying the island of Taal under a thick layer of dust. The wind carried some ash as far as Manila, according to local media. This led to the suspension of air travel on Monday with more than 240 flights cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A spokesperson from Resorts World Manila told GGRAsia that the venue \u201ccontinues its regular operations while closely monitoring updates from the proper authorities\u201d. Resorts World Manila is operated by\u00a0Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A spokesperson from Okada Manila also spoke to GGRAsia and said: \u201cTo ensure the welfare of all its team members and guests, Okada Manila has implemented safety and precautionary measures to prepare for the possible effects of the Taal volcano\u2019s recent activity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
