Overview
- Officials said a lava-deposit collapse sent a fast pyroclastic flow down Mayon, spreading thick ash over 87 villages and prompting the evacuation of more than 300 families, with no deaths reported.
- Phivolcs kept the alert at Level 3, citing sustained magmatic unrest with 32 volcanic quakes recorded in a day and warnings for rockfalls and moderate explosions.
- Authorities are enforcing a 6-kilometer no-go zone as lava flows and short bursts of lava fountains continue from the cone.
- The social welfare agency reported nearly 1,500 families in evacuation centers and staged about 300,000 food and relief items for affected communities.
- The civil aviation regulator issued flight advisories and airspace limits because ash can stall jet engines and disrupt navigation near active volcanoes.
