Volcanoes are windows to nature’s prowess — beauty and ferocity go hand-in-hand as magma violently escapes from the Earth’s crust, yet the aftermath of these eruptions are stunning landscapes such as the likes of Mayon or Taal, which are prominent names that come up in Philippine volcanology. Presently, they are both showing signs of activity, and are being heavily monitored by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).

Mayon Volcano under Alert Level 3
On Monday, June 5, 2023, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) placed Mayon Volcano under Alert Level 2 due to its “current unrest driven by shallow magmatic processes,” which may result in phreatic or steam-driven eruptions, or “even precede a hazardous magmatic eruption.”
