The Mayon Volcano erupted on Saturday afternoon, releasing a fast-moving pyroclastic flow and a thick ash plume that disrupted traffic and raised safety concerns. The eruption generated a pyroclastic density current, locally called “uson,” which rapidly descended the volcano’s slopes through the Mi-isi gully. Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology confirmed the event and warned of life-threatening hazards from hot gas, ash, and debris. Heavy ashfall reduced visibility in nearby areas like Camalig, while authorities urged residents to remain alert as volcanic activity continues.
