Kanlaon Volcano remains under Alert Level 3 due to magmatic unrest.

In the 24 hours leading up to Monday, February 3, 2025, five ash emissions and 16 volcanic earthquakes, including five volcanic tremors, were recorded.

The ash emissions varied in duration, lasting between four and 125 minutes.

Sulfur dioxide emissions on Sunday, February 2, reached 4,975 tonnes per day, and a 400-meter-tall plume drifted northwest.

Phivolcs observed continued inflation of the volcano, indicating magma movement beneath the surface.

A six-kilometer radius around the volcano's summit is recommended for evacuation, and flying of any aircraft close to the volcano is prohibited.

Potential hazards include sudden explosive eruptions, lava flow, ashfall, pyroclastic density currents, rockfalls, and lahars.
