00:00PHIVOX called on residents near the volcano Kanlaon not to be complacent and remain alert.

00:08The situation of Kanlaon is possibly getting worse,

00:12especially since it erupted more than last June.

00:17This is Rod Lagusan of PTV with the national news.

00:21Rod.

00:22Alan, PHIVOX did not remove the possibility that the situation of Kanlaon Volcano is getting worse

00:27following its eruption yesterday.

00:29That's why the agency is urging the public not to be complacent and remain alert.

00:34According to PHIVOX Director Teresito Bacolcol,

00:36this is stronger than the first eruption last June and even last year.

00:40Phivox has recorded 20 volcanic earthquakes in the last 24 hours.

00:46Bacolcol explained that when the magma rises, the volcanic earthquake increases.

00:50But if the magma is at the top, almost nothing is recorded.

00:55We are still not sure if the magma has risen because we are in alert level 3 and anything can happen.

01:00We may expect these things to escalate in the next few weeks.

01:05But of course, we are hoping that it won't.

01:07But we would expect that the possibility that this would escalate further is always there.

01:12In fact, we are suspecting that there will be a shallow magma

01:15because for the past several days following the June 3 eruption,

01:24we have seen a lot of volcanic gases, sulfur dioxide, reaching the top of the volcano.

01:29Phivox recorded 1,699 tons per day of sulfur dioxide yesterday.

01:36This means that the magma has reached the top of the volcano.

01:38Based on the ground deformation instrument of PHIVOX,

01:40the magma reached the top of the volcano.

01:42Also included in the magma of the volcano is pyroclastic density current or PVC.

01:48This is where the volcanic ash, volcanic gases and volcanic fragments from the volcano accumulate.

01:54However, this is dangerous because it reaches 100 kilometers per hour.

01:59It reached 3.5 kilometers from the crater of the volcano that entered the 4-kilometer danger zone of the volcano.

02:06But that's the reason why we're raising the alert level because this may recur,

02:13this may happen again in the next few weeks.

02:17And it may be even stronger.

02:19So it will reach, it will pass the 4-kilometer permanent danger zone.

02:23If there is an escalation of activities, we may extend the alert, the danger zone from 6 to say 8 or probably 10.

02:32Meanwhile, when it comes to ashfall, according to PHIVOX,

02:35aside from the LGUs around the volcano,

02:37such as La Castellana, La Carlota, Bagu City and Candon City,

02:41there are also signs in Guimaras and Maguinsa, Antique, which are more than 300 kilometers away.

02:46PHIVOX is reminding the public to wear a face mask and if possible, N95 to cover your nose and mouth.

02:53That is the latest from PHIVOX. Back to you, Alan.
