"Since the Alert Level status was raised from Alert Level 1 to Alert Level 2 on 05 June 2023, repeated collapse of the growing summit dome of Mayon Volcano has generated an increasing number and volume of rockfall events," Phivolcs said in its 12 p.m. bulletin on Thursday.
Bacolcol said three PDCs also occurred Thursday morning, each lasting for four to five minutes, within the 1-kilometer of the summit crater.
