PHIVOLCS reports sustained unrest at Mayon Volcano in Albay, with ongoing lava effusion observed on multiple dates. Several PHIVOLCS updates describe incandescent lava flows coming from the summit crater, accompanied at times by strombolian activity and periodic lava collapses that can feed pyroclastic density currents (PDCs, locally known as “uson”), as well as rockfalls. GMA News Online and Inquirer.net both cite PHIVOLCS posts and footage showing continuous effusive activity across successive days, with reported consecutive-day counts reaching 187, 191, 192, and 193 days, depending on the specific date of the PHIVOLCS update. One report notes that a lava flow with strombolian activity is seen from the summit crater on a Tuesday evening, while another describes a moderate explosive eruption and lava-collapse-fed PDCs on a Thursday evening. PHIVOLCS also records recurring activity using its 24-hour monitoring, including volcanic earthquakes, rockfall events, and signals associated with pyroclastic density currents. Overall, the sources present a picture of persistent effusive eruption with intermittent explosive or collapse-related hazards rather than a single isolated event.

- PHIVOLCS reports continued lava effusion from Mayon Volcano’s summit crater, with incandescent lava flows observed in recent updates.
- Activity is accompanied at times by strombolian behavior and/or moderate explosive eruption characteristics.
- Some lava collapses are associated with pyroclastic density currents (PDCs/uson) and rockfalls, according to PHIVOLCS observations.
- PHIVOLCS issues updates based on videos/photos and 24-hour monitoring that track earthquakes, rockfalls, and PDC-related signals.
- Reported consecutive-day counts of unrest and effusive activity range from 187th to 193rd day, depending on the specific PHIVOLCS reporting date.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) on Saturday released images of continued lava effusion of restive Mayon Volcano in Albay.

READ: Phivolcs releases new footage of Mayon’s effusive eruption In a Facebook post, Phivolcs said the lava collapse, which was caused by an effusive eruption, was recorded between 5:04 a.m to 7:07 a.m on Thursday, July 16. It added that the volcano also persists to generate incandescent lava flows and rockfalls. An earlier volcanic activity was recorded by the state seismologist at 2:42 a.m to 3:11 a.m. Phivolcs continues to […]...Keep on reading: Phivolcs: Mayon Volcano spews fresh lava, ash on 192nd day of unrest
1 month agoMANILA, Philippines — An effusive eruption was recorded in Mayon Volcano for the 192nd day on Thursday, July 16, the Philippine Institution of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported. Footage released by Phivolcs captured the strombolian activity in the summit crater of the Mayon Volcano and pyroclastic density current from 2:42 a.m to 3:11 a.m. “Effusive eruption at Mayon Volcano continues for the 192nd consecutive day, generating incandescent lava flows and rockfalls,” Phivolcs said in a Facebook post. According to its 24-hour monitoring, Phivolcs logged 168 volcanic earthquakes, including 13 volcanic tremors, 293 rockfalls, and 15 pyroclastic density current signals. The […]...Keep on reading: Mayon Volcano’s effusive eruption continues for 192nd day
