The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) announced on Saturday that the slow lava effusion from the summit crater of Mayon Volcano in Albay has been weakening in the past 24 hours.
According to PHILVOCS, the aforementioned lava effusion supplied the lava flows on the Mi-isi gully (south), which reached a distance of 2.8 kilometers, the Bonga gully (southeast), which reached a distance of 600 meters from the crater, and the Basud gully (east), which reached a distance of up to 3.1 kilometers.
The latest bulletin from the agency says Pyroclastic Density Currents (PDC) have not been observed.
Additionally, fewer rockfall incidents were observed. However, the Anoling, Camalig Observation Station (VMAN) was turned off inside the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ), which had an impact on its identification.
48 volcanic earthquakes, including 39 LFVQs and 45 rockfall occurrences, were reported by the Mayon Volcano Network in the past 24 hours.
Meanwhile, an average of 4,113 tonnes of volcanic sulfur dioxide were emitted by the volcano on Friday.
Alert Level 3 (Intensified Unrest/Magmatic Unrest) is still in effect, according to PHIVOLCS.
"Mayon Volcano is currently in a relatively high level of unrest, and a hazardous eruption within weeks or even days could still be possible," the agency said.
