Mayon has had forty-nine eruptions in recorded history. The first recorded eruption was in 1616, the last major eruption ceased on 1 October 2006, [3] although a devastating lahar followed on 30 November 2006. A further summit eruption occurred on 10 August 2008. [4]
Mayon Volcano on September 23, 1984 The most destructive eruption of Mayon occurred on February 1, 1814. Lava flowed but not as much compared to the 1766 eruption. Instead, the volcano was belching dark ash and eventually bombarding the town with tephra that buried the town of Cagsawa—only the bell tower of the town's church remained above the new surface. Trees were burned; rivers were certainly damaged. Proximate areas were also devastated by the eruption with ash accumulating to 9 m (30 ft) in depth. 2,200 Albay locals perished in what is considered to be the most lethal eruption in Mayon's history.[1]

35 quakes rock Mayon anew
By Rey M. Nasol
Inquirer Southern Luzon
First Posted 14:55:00 10/02/2009
Filed Under: Volcanic activity, Earthquake
LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines—
At least 35 volcanic earthquakes jolted Mayon Volcano on Thursday and Friday, the highest recorded seismic event since July when the volcano started showing signs of restiveness, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported Friday.
The surge in the number of volcanic tremors started in the Wednesday, with 14 tremors recorded during the Wednesday-to-Thursday monitoring period. Only one tremor was recorded in the previous 24-hour period from 6 a.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday.
Eduardo Laguerta, Phivolcs resident volcanologist, said the agency's seismic network recorded a total of 82 earthquakes since Sept. 27.
Scientists monitoring the volcano still do not discount the possibility of an explosive eruption because of the fluctuating indicators, such as quakes, ground swelling, gas emissions and crater glow.
Phivolcs' Friday advisory said high- and low-frequency harmonic tremors were detected by seismic instruments, signifying that magma intrusion was developing in the volcano's crater vent.
Sulfur dioxide emissions from the volcano indicated a fluctuating trend, ranging from 392 tons per day to 445 tons per day for the past three days.
No reading was recorded Thursday due to bad weather.
Precise leveling result indicated a 6-mm swelling on the volcano’s ground surface, with bulging noted at the Buang, Tabaco City, side of the mountain.
The volcano's crater glow was obscured by the prevailing bad weather in Albay.
Alert level 2 remained hoisted over Mayon Volcano.
The Phivolcs strongly recommended that the six-kilometer permanent danger zone and the seven-kilometer extended danger zone be off-limits to any human activity due to threat of sudden explosions and rockfalls from the upper slopes of the volcano.
Residents living along river channels, gullies and low-lying areas were also warned about possible lahar flows. |

Mayon Volcano's sulfur dioxide emission rate increases
10/12/2009 | 01:18 PM
More State volcanologists on Monday observed a nearly 350-ton increase in the sulfur dioxide emission rate of Mayon Volcano in Albay province in the Bicol region.
In its latest update, the Philppine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said that the volcano emitted 853 tons of SO2 in the past 24 hours.
Phivolcs recorded only 505 tons last October 10; 761 tons last October 8, and 350 tons last October 7.
While the volcano’s steaming activity remained moderate and while the crater glow remained obscure, Phivolcs said that they detected seven volcanic earthquakes during the past 24 hours – bringing to 43 the number of volcanic earthquakes recorded from October 5 to 11.
Mayon Volcano’s status, however, remained at Alert Level 2, which is characterized as "a state of unrest which could lead to more ash explosion or eventually to hazardous magmatic eruption."
Phivolcs said the 6-kilometer radius Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) around the volcano and the 7-km Extended Danger Zone (EDZ) on the southeast flank are off-limits due to the threat of sudden explosions and rock falls from the upper slope.
"Active river channels and those areas perennially identified as lahar prone in the southeast sector should also be avoided especially during bad weather condition or when there is heavy and prolonged rainfall," Phivolcs added.
Last July 10, the agency raised the alert at Mayon from Level 1 to Level 2 after noting a “moderate unrest."
Alert Level 1 means there is low-level unrest with slight increase in seismicity. There is also a "slight increase in sulfur dioxide gas output above the background level. A very faint glow at the crater may occur, but no conclusive evidence of magma ascent." At this level, no eruption is imminent, Phivolcs said. |

Mayon spews high gas volume
By Rey M. Nasol
Inquirer Southern Luzon
First Posted 15:01:00 10/15/2009
Filed Under: Volcanic activity, Earthquake
LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines—Mayon Volcano released 1,272 tons of sulfur dioxide during a 24-hour period between Tuesday and Wednesday morning that was way above the fluctuation range recorded in previous weeks, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said Thursday
The emission was the highest during the last two-month observation period, a Phivolcs bulletin said, adding it was not able to record the gas level during the Wednesday-Thursday monitoring period due to bad weather.
The gas emission and other signs of abnormality shown by the volcano prompted disaster authorities to strictly enforce a ban on people entering designated danger zones around the volcano. Police and military personnel manned 12 checkpoints intended to ensure no one ventured into the "no-man’s land" in the municipalities of Camalig, Daraga, and Sto. Domingo, and the cities of Ligao, Tabaco and Legazpi.
Colonel Marlou Salazar, commander of the Army's 901st Infantry Brigade, said earlier that the Task Force Mayon had prepositioned military trucks in case an evacuation order is given by Governor Joey Salceda, Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council chair, in the event Philvolcs raised the alert to Level 3.
Gas emission trends from Mayon's crater showed a high level of unrest with 971 tons per day on October 12, 853 tons on October 11, and 505 tons on October 10, all were above the baseline data of 500 tons per day.
Thursday's bulletin also revealed an increase in the number of volcanic earthquakes by 11. It said there were 17 quakes during the past 24-hour period, compared to the six quakes in the previous monitoring period, bringing the total to 73 quakes recorded since October 5.
Scientists said the volcano's abnormality levels were an indication of a possible eruption.
They were continuously monitoring tremors, gas emissions and ground deformation as these are indications that the volcano's seismic activity may intensify.
Grater glow was not visible as the volcano was covered by clouds.
Alert Level 2 remains hoisted over the volcano and Phivolcs strongly recommended that the six-kilometer permanent danger zone and the seven-kilometer extended danger zone continue to be off-limits due to the threat from sudden explosions and rockfalls from the upper slopes of the volcano.
Mayon Volcano, famous for its nearly perfect conical shape, has a height of over 2,400 meters. |

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology recorded an ash explosion in Mayon Volcano early Wednesday, which caused ash fall in Albay towns located southwest and northwest of the volcano. "The explosion, which occurred at around 1:58 a.m., is a clear sign of magma intrusion toward the summit crater of the volcano," said Alex Baloloy, Phivolcs science research analyst. The explosion, which lasted for about three minutes, was accompanied by rumbling sounds.
Residents in the towns of Camalig, Guinobatan, Polangui, Oas, and Ligao City reported experiencing the ash fall. Baloloy said, however, that the height of the ash column was not recorded because clouds covered the view of the volcano and it was still dark when the explosion happened. He added that because of the prevailing northeast monsoon, the ash fall drifted toward the southwest and northwest towns of the volcano.
Another ash emission was recorded at around 7:02 a.m. with ashes as high as 300 meters from the crater drifting in the same direction of the first ash explosion early morning. Mayon Volcano remains at Alert Level 2, meaning a state of increasing unrest of magmatic origin which may eventually lead to eruption. "The volcano has exhibited already two ash explosions since early morning today and it is possible that more explosions and even slight to stronger explosions could occur anytime.
That is why we are closely monitoring the volcano," Baloloy said. Albay Governor Joey Salceda immediately alerted the disaster officials through the Albay Public Safety and Emergency Management Office to reiterate the strict observance of the six-kilometer permanent danger zones around the volcano; and the seven-kilometer extended danger zone in the southeast quadrant of the volcano. The 2,462-meter-tall volcano 300 kilometers southeast of Manila first spewed ash this year in three successive events last September 15. Another smaller single ash explosion was also recorded by the Phivolcs last October 28 and the latest early Wednesday morning which is already characterized by ash fall. |
