The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) has issued a warning about the potential for a magmatic eruption of Kanlaon volcano. This warning is due to the increasing volcanic activity observed.
“If this kind of trend continues like it has a flow progression or worsening (volcanic activity), what we might see is a possible magmatic eruption, which could be effusive,” Ma. Antonia V. Bornas, Chief of Volcano Monitoring and Eruption Prediction Division (VMEPD) said in mixed Filipino and English during a phone interview.
In a magmatic effusive eruption, Kanlaon is expected to emit a steady flow of lava.
