The alert level in Mayon Volcano was raised from 2 to 3 on Thursday noon, signifying "increased tendency towards a hazardous eruption," according to the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology .
According to the agency, Alert Level 3 means that Mayon "is exhibiting magmatic eruption of a summit lava dome, with increased chances of lava flows and hazardous PDCs affecting the upper to middle slopes of the volcano and of potential explosive activity within weeks or even days."Due to the danger of PDCs, lava flows, rockfalls and other volcanic hazards, PHIVOLCS has recommended evacuation from the six-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone .
Pilots, meanwhile, are prohibited from flying close to the volcano’s summit as ash from any sudden eruption can be hazardous to aircraft.PHIVOLCS raised the alert level after three PDC events on the Bonga and Basud Gullies were observed at 6:18 a.m., 9:53 a.m. and 11:00 a.m..
