16 Jan 11 - Three active volcanoes in Luzon showed signs of increased activity Sunday, exhibiting rock fall, moderate steam, and minor quakes, says this article in the Manila Bulletin.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said signs of
unrest Alert Level 1 has been raised due to Mayon’s current activity. While no eruption is imminent, Phivolcs strongly prohibited the public from wandering within the six-km-radius permanent danger zone (PDZ) due to the continuing threat from sudden small explosions and rock falls. “Active river channels and those perennially identified as lahar-prone areas in the southern sector should also be avoided especially during bad weather conditions or when there is heavy and prolonged rainfall,” it warned.
Ten minor volcanic earthquakes were detected around Taal Volcano on Saturday,
Both Taal Volcano’s status and Bulusan Volcano’s status remain at Alert Level 1, which means that a major eruption is not imminent.
