Bacolod: Ash emission was recorded anew from Kanlaon Volcano's summit crater on Friday, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said. The emission, which began at 7:12 a.m. and concluded at 7:20 a.m., resulted in grayish plumes rising 75 meters above the crater. The plume drifted west-southwest.

According to Philippines News Agency, Phivolcs Director Teresito Bacolcol previously explained that ash emission is expected for Kanlaon Volcano since it is under Alert Level 2 or moderate level of unrest. "Ash emissions happen when there is a new release of volcanic gas and pressure," he stated. Degassing releases fine and dry materials or ash that can be found on the volcano's crater, Bacolcol added.

Under Alert Level 2, the public is advised to stay out of the volcano's 4-kilometer permanent danger zone due to the risk of sudden explosions, pyroclastic density currents, rockfalls, and exposure to harmful volcanic gases.
