MANILA, Philippines — A total of 104 volcano-tectonic earthquakes were recorded at Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Occidental over a 24-hour period, Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said Tuesday. Phivolcs said one earthquake at 5:07 a.m. Monday was recorded at magnitude 3 and felt at Intensity II in La Carlota City, Negros Occidental. ADVERTISEMENTThe agency also said it observed “weak emission of white steam-laden plumes” that rose up to 300 meters before drifting northwest and southeast. “These parameters indicate that hydrothermal or magmatic activity is occurring beneath the edifice,” Phivolcs explained. On Monday, Phivolcs recorded 136 volcano-tectonic earthquakes at Kanlaon Volcano.
