Phivolcs: Mt. Bulusan spews ash anew

LEGAZPI CITY – Bulusan Volcano in Sorsogon province spewed ash anew and caused rumblings this morning, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) in Sorsogon City reported.

Phivolcs Bulusan resident watcher Abner Ete said that their seismographs recorded a 392-second harmonic tremor before the ash explosion at 2:58 a.m. Ashfalls were traced as far as Monbon village in the adjacent Irosin town.

Ete said they failed to observe the height of the ash due to darkness and the thick clouds around the volcano.

“In fact, our team had already started to survey ash fall traces to determine the extent of the explosion,” Ete told The STAR.

Bulusan remains under Alert Level 1 since it started spewing ash in November last year. (report from Cet Dematera, Philstar.com)
