Following two ash emission events on Monday, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) is closely monitoring Kanlaon Volcano, which is now under a moderate level of unrest and Alert Level 2.
MANILA, Philippines — After two consecutive ash emission events on Monday, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said it is monitoring Kanlaon Volcano for a 'possible major eruption.'Phivolcs director Teresito Bacolcol said Monday that the ash emissions first occurred at 7:46 a.m. until 7:53 a.m. while the second event happened at 8:16 a.m. and lasted for 14 minutes.
'These events generated a grayish column of plumes, rising 400 to 600 meters above the crater before drifting northwest and north-northwest direction as recorded by the Kanlaon Volcano Observatory,' Bacolcol told The Manila Times via Viber.Latest emissions suggest that the Negros Island volcano is under a moderate level of unrest, he said.'That's why it is still under Alert Level 2,' the Phivolcs chief added.
