Trekking, pilgrimage banned at Mt. Kanlaon on Holy Week
The Regional Task Force Kanlaon has reinforced the prohibition of any form of trekking or pilgrimage to Mt. Kanlaon, especially within the six-kilometer extended danger zone, during the Holy Week observance.
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officers of local governments surrounding Mt. Kanlaon were directed to activate their Incident Management Teams and place all responders on high alert status.
Mt. Kanlaon remains under Alert Level 3, indicating magmatic unrest, a status that has been in place since December 2024.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) warned of potential pyroclastic density currents, ballistic projectiles, rockfalls, and ashfall.
PHIVOLCS recommended that communities within a 6-km radius of the summit crater remain evacuated due to these potential hazards.
