Marcos asks residents to follow evacuate ordersThe mandatory evacuation of residents from Barangay Maninila, for temporary relocation at Mauraro High School and Guinobatan Community College, Barangay Mauraro, Guinobatan, Albay, earlier last Friday, June 10, 2023New lava dome emerges in Mayon – PhivolcsMANILA, Philippines — Amid mounting concerns over a potential “hazardous eruption,” President Marcos appealed to residents near Mayon Volcano in Albay yesterday to follow local orders to evacuate, as state seismologists discovered the emergence of a newly formed lava dome – a grim indicator of escalating volcanic unrest. In an interview with dzBB radio, Phivolcs officer-in-charge Teresito Bacolcol warned that this new lava dome could contain high amounts of gas that could get trapped and may result in explosive activity if it accumulates. He noted that Mayon Volcano usually erupts between three to 10 years from its last eruption in January 2018. Mayon Volcano remains on Alert Level 3, which means there is a high level of unrest and that hazardous eruption is possible within weeks or days. Teodoro said he wants a “timely and orderly” evacuation of families affected not only near Mayon, but also around in Taal.
