A 900-meter ash plume rose above the summit of Kanlaon Volcano on Negros Island on Sunday morning, according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology.

A 900-meter ash plume rose above the summit of Kanlaon Volcano on Negros Island on Sunday morning, according to sped-up camera footage released by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS).

In a post on X, PHIVOLCS said the ash emission was observed at 9:08 a.m., generating a grayish plume that rose above the summit crater before drifting southwest.

Kanlaon Volcano remains under Alert Level 2, indicating the possibility of sudden steam-driven or phreatic eruptions and precursory magmatic activity.

On Saturday evening, Kanlaon Volcano also emitted a 600-meter ash plume from 9:30 p.m. to 9:32 p.m.

PHIVOLCS' monitoring on Nov. 14 recorded one volcanic earthquake, while ground deformation continued to indicate inflation of the volcano's edifice.

The agency continues to prohibit entry into the volcano's 4-kilometer-radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) and flying aircraft close to its summit. —Lyjah Tiffany Bonzo/KG, GMA News
