Mayon Volcano

Mayon Volcano is an active stratovolcano located in Albay, Philippines, known for its near-perfect cone shape and frequent volcanic activity. In 2025, Phivolcs issued a lahar advisory due to Tropical Storm Dante and Severe Tropical Storm Emong, warning communities near the volcano about potential sediment flows. Despite minor rockfall events and ongoing monitoring by PHIVOLCS, Mayon remains a major tourist attraction with a nearby 7-Eleven store becoming a popular photo hotspot for visitors.
