Kanlaon spews less sulfur dioxide, logs fewer quakes — Phivolcs
Kanlaon Volcano recorded eight volcanic earthquakes on Saturday, a decrease from nine the previous day, and emitted 3,256 tons of sulfur dioxide, less than the 4,663 tons released on Friday.
The volcano continued to show degassing with a 600-meter plume drifting southeast, and Phivolcs reported that its edifice remains inflated.
Alert Level 3 is still in effect for Kanlaon, signifying a high level of volcanic unrest and potential hazards including explosive eruptions, lava flows, ashfall, pyroclastic currents, rockfalls, and lahars.
Residents within a six-kilometer radius are recommended to evacuate, and all aircraft are prohibited from flying near the volcano.
The Office of Civil Defense had previously suspended entry into the volcano's six-kilometer extended danger zone for farming and livelihood activities due to increased signs of a potential eruption.
