Kanlaon Volcano released ash — PHIVOLCS

Ash emission was reported in Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Island on Friday morning, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) said.

In a Facebook post with time-lapse footage of the event, PHIVOLCS said the volcano’s summit crater spewed ash from 6:30 a.m. to 6:37 a.m.

“Time-lapse footage of ash emission at the summit crater of Kanlaon Volcano that occurred at 06:30 AM to 06:37 AM today (31 October 2025),” the PHIVOLCS said.

“This event generated grayish plumes that rose up to 250 meters above the crater before drifting to the northwest as recorded by the Kanlaon Volcano Observatory - Canlaon City (KVO-CC) IP Camera,” it added.

Alert Level 2 remains over Kanlaon Volcano, which means there is an increased unrest. Sudden steam-driven or phreatic eruptions may occur in the volcano.

Under Alert Level 2, entry into the four-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) and the flying of any aircraft close to the volcano are prohibited. — Joviland Rita/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
