Mount Kanlaon on Negros Island erupts in a moderately explosive event, producing an ash plume above the summit. Phivolcs says the eruption begins shortly before 12:30 p.m. and ends at 12:48 p.m., according to an advisory.
Phivolcs keeps Kanlaon Volcano under Alert Level 2, which indicates increasing volcanic unrest. Local government units issue public reminders to follow safety measures, including staying away from the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) and other restricted areas. GMA News highlights Phivolcs’ characterization of the event as an “explosive eruption,” aligning with the Inquirer.net report describing a moderately explosive eruption and its ash plume.
