:The Role of Phivolcs: Renewing Warning of Kanlaon's 'Hazardous Eruption'This title accurately reflects the content of the blog post, which discusses the role of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) in monitoring and warning about volcanic activity, specifically regarding Kanlaon Volcano's potential for a "hazardous eruption".

The Role of Phivolcs: Renewing Warning of Kanlaon's 'Hazardous Eruption'As we move forward into a new era in 2025 and beyond, it is crucial to recognize the vital role that institutions like the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) play in ensuring public safety. In this blog post, we will delve into the recent warning issued by Phivolcs regarding Kanlaon Volcano's possible "hazardous eruption" and explore the significance of their monitoring efforts.Renewed Warning: Kanlaon Volcano on High AlertOn Friday, Phivolcs renewed its warning over Kanlaon Volcano's potential for a "hazardous eruption." According to Phivolcs Director Teresito "Toto" Bacolcol, the risks associated with landslides, rockfalls, sudden hazardous eruptions, pyroclastic flows, and volcanic gas exposure remain high within the six-kilometer radius permanent danger zone (PDZ) around the Negros Islands volcano.Alert Level 3: Elevated UnrestKanlaon Volcano remains under Alert Level 3, indicating a high level of unrest. This means that the possibility of a hazardous eruption is still present. Bacolcol emphasized that Phivolcs will continue to closely monitor the situation and may raise the alert level from 3 to 4 if signs indicate a higher likelihood of an eruption.Monitoring Parameters: Dynamic ActivityAccording to Phivolcs, nine volcanic earthquakes have been recorded over the past 24 hours. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission has also been measured at 3,385 tons per day. Additionally, there were three ash emission events that lasted from 17 to 98 minutes long and reached plumes up to 100 meters above the main crater.Unpredictable Factors: Volcanic ActivityWhen asked if the monitoring parameters were increasing, warranting a higher alert status, Bacolcol described the situation as "in a fluctuating mood." This highlights the dynamic nature of volcanic activity and the need for continuous monitoring.Conclusion: Phivolcs' Critical RoleIn conclusion, Phivolcs plays a vital role in ensuring public safety by providing timely warnings and updates on volcanic activity. As Kanlaon Volcano remains under Alert Level 3, it is essential to heed the warning signs and avoid entering the PDZ. By staying informed and vigilant, we can minimize the risks associated with hazardous eruptions.Key Takeaways: Phivolcs renewed its warning over Kanlaon Volcano's possible "hazardous eruption." The volcano remains under Alert Level 3, indicating a high level of unrest. Monitoring parameters show dynamic activity, with nine volcanic earthquakes recorded and sulfur dioxide emission measured at 3,385 tons per day. Phivolcs will continue to closely monitor the situation and may raise the alert level if signs indicate a higher likelihood of an eruption.References: Phivolcs (2025). Kanlaon Volcano Bulletin.
