(Eagle News)–Two volcanic earthquakes were monitored at Mayon in 24 hours.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said apart from the earthquakes, two rockfall events, and steam and sulfur dioxide emissions were monitored at the volcano, which remains on alert level 1.
PHIVOLCS said the emission of white steam-laden plumes that crept downslope was moderate.
Sulfur dioxide emission was below baseline average, at 436 tons, on October 29.
PHIVOLCS said overall, the “Mayon edifice is still inflated with respect to baseline parameters.”
It reminded the public that while no magmatic eruption was imminent, at alert level 1, the volcano is at “an abnormal condition.”
As such, it reiterated the ban on the entry into the 6-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone.
Active stream and river channels, and lahar-prone areas should also be avoided.
“PHIVOLCS maintains its close monitoring of Mayon Volcano and any new development will be communicated to all concerned stakeholders,” PHIVOLCS said.
