Kanlaon Volcano Activity Remains Elevated
Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Island continues to exhibit heightened activity, prompting authorities to keep it under Alert Level 2. Officials reported that over the past 24 hours, volcanic unrest has intensified, signaling ongoing volcanic processes beneath the surface.
According to sources monitoring the situation, Kanlaon Volcano has recorded a total of 31 volcanic earthquakes within this period. This increase in seismic events highlights the volcano’s persistent unrest and the need for continued vigilance among nearby communities.
Seismic Data and Volcanic Unrest
Local experts noted that the volcanic earthquakes are a clear indication of magma movement beneath Kanlaon Volcano. These tremors often precede changes in volcanic behavior, which is why Alert Level 2 remains in effect to warn residents of potential hazards.

Moreover, local leaders are coordinating with disaster response teams to ensure rapid assistance if the situation escalates. Continuous data collection and analysis remain critical in anticipating any significant changes in Kanlaon’s activity.
Looking Ahead
While Kanlaon Volcano’s current unrest is a cause for caution, experts emphasize that this level of activity does not guarantee an imminent eruption. Nevertheless, the community’s safety remains the top priority as monitoring efforts persist.
