The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) began to notice an increase in the frequency of weak and shallow volcanic earthquakes in Mayon Volcano. ManilaBulletin READ:
“An increasing number of weak and shallow volcanic earthquakes began on June 24, 2023 and steadily increased to 102 volcanic earthquakes during a 24-hour [monitoring] between June 25 and 26, 2023,” Phivolcs said in an advisory that was released at 4 p.m. on Monday, June 26.“Some of the analyzed earthquakes that could be located emanated from the summit lava dome, indicating origins from lava extrusion processes at the crater,” Phivolcs said.
“The increased seismicity was accompanied by a noticeable sharp jump in ground tilt on the southwest sector of the edifice that began on June 25, 2023,” it pointed out. It reiterated that Mayon Volcano still has an “increased tendency toward a hazardous eruption,” but that “sudden change in monitoring parameters has been detected and is being closely monitored.”Phivolcs strongly advised that the six-kilometer permanent danger zone must remain off-limits due to the risk of PDCs, lava flows, rockfalls, and other volcanic hazards.
