Mayon Volcano's ongoing effusive eruption has reached its 175th consecutive day, with state volcanologists warning that hazardous volcanic activity remains persistent as incandescent lava continues to flow from the summit crater.
In an update on Sunday, June 28, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) released time-lapse footage and images showing sustained lava effusion from Mayon's summit crater between 11:05 p.m. and 11:50 p.m. on June 27.
According to PHIVOLCS, the volcano continues to generate incandescent lava flows, pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) or "uson," and rockfalls along its slopes, indicating that eruptive activity remains ongoing.
The agency maintained Alert Level 3 over Mayon Volcano, signifying that a hazardous eruption is in progress and that dangerous activity could continue.
PHIVOLCS reiterated that entry into the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) remains strictly prohibited due to the persistent threat of lava flows, PDCs, rockfalls, and other volcanic hazards.
Residents living near the volcano have also been advised to remain vigilant, especially in areas vulnerable to volcanic hazards, while local government units continue to enforce safety measures and monitor developments.
Mayon Volcano, one of the country's most active volcanoes, has remained under close observation as its prolonged eruption continues to pose risks to surrounding communities.
Authorities urged the public to follow official advisories and avoid restricted areas to ensure their safety.
