Residents near Kanlaon Volcano woke up to an ash emission early Sunday morning, October 12, 2025, as the volcano released a column of grayish plumes reaching up to 300 meters high.
According to the Kanlaon Volcano Observatory in Canlaon City (KVO-CC), the ash emission began around 6:47 a.m. and lasted until 7:17 a.m.. The time-lapse footage captured by the observatory’s IP camera showed a steady plume drifting southeast from the volcano’s summit crater.
Experts confirmed that Alert Level 2 remains in effect over Kanlaon Volcano, meaning it is still under a moderate level of unrest. This indicates the possibility of sudden steam-driven or phreatic eruptions, as well as gas emissions that may affect nearby communities.
Authorities are reminding the public to avoid entering the 4-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) due to the risk of unexpected explosions and rockfall.
Local residents and pilots have also been advised to take precautions, as volcanic ash may affect air travel and visibility in areas downwind of the volcano.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) continues to closely monitor Kanlaon’s activity and urges the public to stay alert for updates from official sources.
