MANILA, Philippines — Kanlaon Volcano released more sulfur dioxide on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.

Based on the last 24-hour monitoring of Phivolcs, the volcano located between Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental emitted a total of 6,014 tons of sulfur dioxide on Wednesday, which is greater than the 3,585 tons of sulfur dioxide it discharged the day before.

The federal and state governments’ tax revenue reached a total of 86.2 billion euros ($93.54 billion) last month, according to the ministry’s monthly report.

The last 24-hour monitoring of Phivolcs likewise logged 25 volcanic earthquakes and five volcanic tremors, lasting three to 40 minutes, at Mt. Kanlaon.

Kanlaon Volcano erupted last December 9, producing a voluminous plume that rapidly rose to 3,000 meters above the vent and drifted west-southwest. It prompted the evacuation of thousands of residents from Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental.

It remains under Alert Level 3, which means Mt. Kanlaon is under magmatic unrest and recommends the evacuation of people within a six-kilometer radius from the volcano’s summit.

Phivolcs reiterated that flying aircraft close to the volcano is still prohibited and warned of possible hazards such as sudden explosive eruption, lava flow, ash fall, rockfall, lahar during heavy rains, and pyroclastic flow.
