00:00It took an hour for volcano Canlaon to erupt this morning.
00:04Now, PHIVOX is reporting on the various scenarios
00:08in front of the eruption of volcano Canlaon.
00:11This is Rod Laguzad of PTV in Balitang Pambansa, live.
00:15Rod.
00:19The next day after the eruption of volcano Canlaon this morning,
00:22PHIVOX is following the possible scenarios after this.
00:30It took an hour for volcano Canlaon to erupt this morning,
00:33from 5.51 a.m. to 6.47 a.m.,
00:38which is 4 kilometers away from here.
00:42PHIVOX Director Teresito Bacolcol explained that
00:44this is not a major eruption, but an explosive eruption.
00:49It will lower nitric sulfur dioxide emissions
00:52and cause volcanic earthquakes.
00:55This one would signify that there is a pressure that has accumulated underneath,
01:00which is why our sulfur dioxide can't come out,
01:02and it suddenly falls.
01:04And as a result, the pressure can no longer be tolerated,
01:07which is why we had an eruption.
01:14Bacolcol added that it is dangerous if it is prevented,
01:17that an eruption may occur.
01:20He said that there is a possibility that it will follow,
01:22which is why the alert level 3 in the volcano is still high.
01:27Our possible scenario here would be...
01:30because it's like you opened a coke.
01:33If you opened the coke,
01:35the gas bubbles would freely go out.
01:38So that's the direction.
01:40So that's what we hope won't happen,
01:43that we will have an explosive eruption.
01:45If the magma rises quickly,
01:47then the conduit can't be prevented,
01:50that it will result in a strong eruption.
01:55This could cause pyroclastic density current,
01:59ashfall, and other hazards.
02:00And when this happens,
02:02it is possible to raise it to alert level 4.
02:05While there is a scenario where the magma rises slowly
02:08and will come out of the crater,
02:09just like what happened in Mayon Volcano.
02:12Also included in the scenario we are looking at,
02:14the movement of magma will stop.
02:16And here, it is possible to lower the alert level 2
02:19from the current alert level 3 of the volcano.
02:23Although the eruption of Canlaon Volcano is still high,
02:26a notice to airmen was issued
02:29for flights near the volcano.
02:33It started just a while ago at 8 in the morning
02:36and will last until 5 in the morning.
02:39Tomorrow, all flight operators are being told
02:41to avoid flying near Canlaon Volcano.
02:46Goodbye.
