Kanlaon Volcano belches ash anew

The volcano sent ash-laden clouds up to 800 meters above the summit crater.

The volcanic activity started around 11:52 a.m., with ash drifting west-northwest of the volcano.

Communities in La Carlota City and Bago City in Negros Occidental, as well as nearby areas, were advised to take precautions as ashfall was expected.

Alert Level 3 remains in effect over Kanlaon Volcano, indicating increased volcanic unrest and an increased likelihood of hazardous eruptions.

Phivolcs reiterated that entry into the six-kilometer danger zone is strictly prohibited due to the threat of sudden explosions.

Authorities urged residents to stay indoors during ashfall, keep windows and doors closed, and wear face masks or use damp cloths to minimize health risks.
