Phivolcs, in its latest advisory, also said that it recorded six pyroclastic density currents which lasted for four to five minutes, emplacing lava debris on the southern gullies within two kilometers from the volcano’s crater.
“Last night we also observed a crater glow, meaning there is a superheated gas coming out of the crater which produced this glow,” said Bacolcol.Bacolcol said he is hoping that Mayon volcano’s current unrest would not progress to a full eruption, and would only duplicate its volcanic activity in 2014 where it only exhibited lava flow without magmatic eruption.
Bacolcol noted that Phivolcs has recorded a lower amount of sulfur dioxide emissions averaging 332 metric tons per day as of June 7, which is lower than the usual 500 metric tons.o volcanic earthquakes were recorded on Thursday, June 8, with only a total of two earthquakes recorded since June 5, Bacolcol added.He added that because of these traits, it is still possible that Mayon won’t experience a full eruption like in 2018.
“We recommend that they be evacuated because they might be in danger of pyroclastic density currents, rockfall, lava flow, and possible eruption,” said Bacolcol.inside the permanent danger zone, with the evacuation in the towns of Daraga, Malilipot, and Camalig, and the cities of Ligao and Tabaco set to start on Friday morning.
