00:00The Canlaon volcano remains under alert level 2 following its moderately explosive eruption on Thursday afternoon, February 19.
00:09According to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, the current monitoring data did not indicate the need to raise
00:16the volcano's alert status.
00:19Yesterday's eruption occurred at 4.39 p.m. that lasted two minutes, generating a dense dark gray plume that rose
00:262,000 meters above the summit crater before drifting southwest due to strong winds.
00:33FIVOLC said the blockage of volcanic gas pathways and resulting pressurization likely triggered the eruption, a mechanism similar to previous
00:41eruptions since June 2024.
00:44The eruption resulted to 40 minutes of continuous ash emissions, with light to moderate ashfall reported in 41 barangays across
00:52six cities and municipalities in Negros Occidental.
