The event was recorded as an explosion-type earthquake lasting for three minutes. Field investigation carried out immediately after the explosion showed that no ashfall was observed beyond the 4-km Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ). During the past 24 hours, four (4) volcanic earthquakes were detected by the Bulusan seismic network. No steaming was observed at the northwest and southeast vents while weak to very weak steam emission were seen rising from the summit crater. No sulfur dioxide (SO<SUB>2</SUB>) flux was detected during the measurements conducted yesterday.

At around 2:58 A.M, today, an explosion occurred at the summit crater of Bulusan Volcano (12?46.2?N, 124?03?E). This was accompanied by a rumbling sound audible at Monbon, Irosin. The explosion was not observed because the volcano summit was covered by thick clouds. Field investigation conducted this morning confirmed the presence of traces of ash deposits in Monbon, Irosin.


Bulusan Volcano?s status remains at Alert Level 1. This means that the source of activity is hydrothermal and shallow. However, no entry to the 4-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) is strongly advised, since the area is at risk to sudden steam and ash explosions. Due to the prevailing wind direction, residents in the northwest and southwest sectors of the volcano are reminded to take precautions against ashfalls. Civil aviation authorities must also warn pilots to avoid flying close to the volcano?s summit as ejected ash and volcanic fragments from sudden explosions may be hazardous to aircraft. Furthermore, people living near valleys and river/stream channels should be vigilant against sediment-laden stream flows and lahars in the event of heavy and prolonged rainfall. DOST-PHIVOLCS is closely monitoring Bulusan Volcano?s activity and any new significant development will be immediately relayed to all concerned.

Hundreds flee ash-spewing volcano in Philippines

MANILA (Reuters) - Hundreds of people fled homes and farms in central Philippines on Monday after a volcano spewed a 2-km (1.2-mile) high column of ash covering several villages, officials said.

Soldiers were patrolling a 4-km danger zone around the crater of Mount Bulusan, one of the most active volcanoes in the poor Southeast Asian nation.

Schools were closed and were being used as temporary shelters, Major Harold Cabunoc told reporters.
