The Kanlaon Volcano in Negros province had an explosive eruption on Monday afternoon, prompting the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) to raise its status to Alert Level 3.

PHIVOLCS said on December 11, 2024 that it is yet too early to raise to 4 the alert level at Kanlaon Volcano but it is doing “worst case scenario planning.”

State seismologists said they would likely raise the alert status of the Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Islands to Level 4 although it has stopped erupting.
