MANILA, Dec. 23 - Scenic Mayon Volcano continues to send booming sounds and columns of ashes as high as 1000 meters across villages surrounding the mountain, but the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) clarified alert level 4 remains hoisted over the area.
This means a hazardous eruption is possible within days, the Phivolcs said in a bulletin issued Wednesday.
Phivolcs on Sunday raised the alert level at Mayon to "4," meaning "Intense unrest" characterized by persistent tremors, low-frequency quakes and intense crater glow.
