Eight ash emission events were recorded at the Kanlaon Volcano during a 24-hour observation period, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) said Monday.

According to PHIVOLCS, the ash emission lasted for 6 to 46 minutes.

State volcanologists earlier shared time-lapse footage of ash emissions from the Kanlaon Volcano that occurred on Sunday at 12:22 p.m. to 12:36 p.m.; 3:47 p.m. to 4:25 p.m.; and 11:51 p.m. to 12:15 a.m. on Monday.

These events generated grayish plumes that rose from 200 to 400 meters above the summit crater before drifting west.

Light ashfall was also observed in La Carlota City and the municipality of La Castellana in Negros Occidental.

Kanlaon Volcano also had 30 volcanic earthquakes, including seven volcanic tremors.

It released 2,964 tonnes of sulfur dioxide, as well as another voluminous 750-meter tall plume. Its edifice also remained inflated.

Alert Level 3 remains hoisted over Kanlaon Volcano, signaling a magmatic unrest following its eruption on December 9, 2024.

PHIVOLCS has recommended evacuation of residents from the six-kilometer radius around the volcano’s summit.

Possible hazards that may occur include sudden explosive eruption, lava flow or effusion, ashfall, pyroclastic density current, rockfall, and lahars during heavy rains.—Giselle Ombay/AOL, GMA Integrated News
