A major and violent eruption of Mayon Volcano could be just days away, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) warned yesterday. Philvolcs raised the alert level three to alert four. This means the that an explosive eruption could take place in days, following a greater frequency of earthquakes and sulfur dioxide emissions.
Phivolcs director Renato Solidum said they raised the alert level at the volcano because of a significant increase in the number and size of volcanic earthquakes and tremors, sustained high sulfur dioxide gas emission and rumbling sound.
“This means that a hazardous explosive eruption is possible within days, thus, areas expected to be affected by such eruption will be accordingly extended,” Solidum said.
Solidum also told reporters that “what we are preparing for is a hazardous eruption and a quick descent of pyroclastic ash flow.”
He said the ash flow would remain within six kilometers of the 2,460-meter (8,070 feet) volcano.

Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) director Renato Solidum Jr. said Mayon now spews lava to as far as 4 km downslope from the crater. There were less explosion recorded within the last 24 hours, although those explosions were more powerful than the previous shooting ashes up to 2 KM high.
