High level of volcanic unrest stays at Kanlaon
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has maintained Kanlaon Volcano on Alert Level 3, indicating a high level of volcanic unrest.
In the past 24 hours, Kanlaon generated five volcanic earthquakes and emitted 1,780 tons of sulfur dioxide.
A moderate plume, reaching 150 meters high and drifting west-northwest, was observed.
These indicators of unrest have become less intense compared to previous observations.
Phivolcs reminded the public that flying aircraft close to the volcano remains prohibited.
Entry within the six-kilometer danger zone is still prohibited due to the risk of sudden explosions, and residents are advised to wear face masks in case of ash fall.
