Farmers near Mayon Volcano in Albay province and residents around Taal Volcano in Batangas province were advised to keep out of the danger zones of these two active volcanoes following their “increasing unrest” since Sunday.

“If there is magma pushing from deep inside the volcano, there should be more earthquakes that could break rocks. But now, despite the limited number of earthquakes recorded, the lava dome is still growing,” Alanis said in a phone interview.Phivolcs urged residents near Mayon to be vigilant and refrain from entering its 6-kilometer radius, the designated permanent danger zone, to minimize risks from sudden explosions, rockfalls and landslides.

Despite that restriction, at least 60 farmers were still returning to their farmlands from time to time. “If the local government strictly prohibits them, they will surely abide. But the problem is that their main livelihood is farming,” Alemania said.He said other residents from the danger zone had been relocated to Salvacion, another village.

Sulfur dioxide emissions have reached a daily average of around 5,831 tons since last week, said the agency, which nevertheless maintained the alert level 1 category for Taal.
