Nine LGUs in Negros Occidental saw ash fall as a result of the volcano’s moderately explosive eruption last Thursday.
Ash emissions from Kanlaon are still occurring as of Friday; grayish plumes are rising around 1,000 meters above the peak and moving with the predominant winds.
Phivolcs is keeping a cautious eye out for any escalation, as evidenced by the volcano’s edifice remaining inflated, recorded volcanic earthquakes, and continuing gas emissions.
Over Mayon, Phivolcs kept Alert Level 3, which denotes a comparatively high degree of volcanic instability. Magma is at the crater in this state, and dangerous eruptions are still probable.
Due to the ongoing threat of PDCs, rockfalls, lava flows, and sudden explosive activity, the agency reaffirmed that the 6-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) must remain completely off-limits. It is also recommended that people living in the extended hazard zones exercise caution, particularly in valleys and places where volcanic flows are likely to channel.
Tourists have been drawn to viewpoints outside the danger zone in Albay province by Mayon’s near-perfect cone and nighttime shimmering lava despite the current turmoil. However, local officials cautioned tourists to follow safety guidelines and follow evacuation orders in case the situation worsens.
