Mayon Volcano is considered stable after the phreatic eruption on February 4, 2024, at least as of this writing, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).

The agency said there is no reason to raise the alert level to three just yet, especially that no subsequent eruption was recorded.

"Sa ngayon, hindi po [itataas ang alert level] dahil hindi naman nasundan. At saka, mababa naman 'yung bilang ng volcanic earthquakes, so hindi naman talaga siya [considered]... wala kaming reason para itaas [ang alert level]," Dr. Paul Alanis, resident volcanologist of PHIVOLCS Bicol, said.

Residents in the area will not be evacuated for now.

Both the Albay Provincial Public Safety and Emergency Management Office (APSEMO) and PHIVOLCS assured that the situation in Albay province appears normal but urged the public to adhere to safety measures and avoid entering the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone.

In case of an ash fall event, people are advised to cover their nose and mouth with a damp cloth or mask.Pilots should also avoid flying near the volcano's summit.

Reports indicate that ashes fell in some parts of Camalig and Libon, with most of the ash settling within the upper slope of the volcano, during the phreatic eruption. 

“Yung mechanism po ng mga phreatic eruptions [is] may tubig [and then] coming into contact with a hot magma body, [at] pwedeng mainit na mga bato. Kukulo po iyon, magiging steam, at dahil pressurized siya dahil nasa ilalim ng bulkan, magkakaroon o pwedeng magkaroon ng isang explosion o eruption na mangyari," Alanis said.
