Mount Mayon, a near-perfect cone located about 330km southeast of the capital Manila, is considered one of the most volatile of the country's 24 active volcanoes.

Philippine scientists said that a"hazardous eruption" of a volcano in the archipelago could be days or weeks away, and urged the evacuation of nearby residents from their homes.

The seismology agency said it observed three fast-moving avalanches of volcanic ash, rock and gases, known as pyroclastic density currents , on Mayon's slopes on Thursday . Dr Rommel Negrete, an officer for the agency, said residents would be evacuated from Anoling village on the volcano's slopes. Earthquakes and volcanic activity are not uncommon in the Philippines due to its position on the Pacific"Ring of Fire", where tectonic plates collide deep below the Earth's surface.
