Mayon Volcano eruption in the Philippines

Overview

On October 30, 2026, Mount Mayon, the most active volcano in the Philippines, underwent a moderately explosive eruption. The event lasted nearly six minutes and produced an ash plume reaching 3,000 meters above the crater. In response, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) raised the alert level from 2 to 3, citing a new phase of magmatic activity. Authorities ordered the evacuation of over 2,000 residents within a six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone and suspended school instruction in Albay province.

By November 3, 2026, the volcano continued to exhibit activity, releasing a new ash plume of approximately 1,600 meters. PHIVOLCS identified this as minor Strombolian activity. The ash drifted southwest toward several towns in Albay, prompting advisories for light ashfall. Alert Level 3 remains in effect, and officials continue to prohibit human activity within the Permanent Danger Zone due to the ongoing risks of lava flows, falling rocks, and hot volcanic gases.
