The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) on Friday said Mayon Volcano continues to show heightened activity, with Alert Level 3 still in effect as unrest persists.
Monitoring footage taken at 12:48 a.m. on April 24 by the Mayon Volcano Observatory and PHIVOLCS’ Quick Response Team showed minor Strombolian eruptions at the summit crater, indicating ongoing surface activity.
PHIVOLCS said the volcano’s effusive eruption has now reached 109 consecutive days. The prolonged activity has produced sustained lava flows, pyroclastic density currents—locally known as “uson”—and recurring rockfalls along its slopes.
Authorities said Alert Level 3 indicates a high level of unrest, with the potential for hazardous eruptions still present, urging residents and visitors to remain vigilant.
PHIVOLCS reiterated that the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone around Mayon Volcano remains off-limits, stressing the need for strict compliance to ensure public safety.
