Albay province’s Mayon Volcano is showing an “increased tendency towards a hazardous eruption,” prompting the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) to raise Alert Level 3 on Thursday, June 8.

Chances are higher for “potential explosive activity within weeks or even days.”

Phivolcs warned of potential hazards such as pyroclastic density currents, lava flows, rockfalls, ashfall, and lahar. There is a 6-kilometer-radius permanent danger zone surrounding the volcano.
