Of the 24 active volcanoes, only 10 are being monitored. Moreover, of the 10 monitored, only two—Taal and Mayon—have complete monitoring systems.As an example, Cabalian Volcano, an active volcano in Southern Leyte, does not have sufficient monitoring instruments.
DOST-Phivolcs Director Teresito C.

It includes allocating funds, , for the acquisition and maintenance of state-of-the-art equipment, infrastructure improvement, research and development, and capacity building of DOST-Phivolcs personnel.He said it needs to add more seismic stations in the country to effectively increase the detection and locate small earthquakes, particularly for faults that exhibit low activity prior to large events.
Bacolcol also said that 21 out of 24 active volcanoes have incomplete hazard maps, putting at risk 28 provinces.
