State seismologists have issued Alert Level 1 over Mount Kanlaon as the volcano erupted and spewed kilometers-high plume into the night sky on Monday, June 3. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) confirmed at 7:05 p.m. of ongoing steam-driven or phreatic eruption in Kanlaon. The eruption began at 6:51 p.m., according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC). The volcano then produced gray-colored plume with a height of 5,000 meters, Phivolcs said. Phivolcs also said they are maintaining Alert Level 1 to signal a low-level unrest but are advising for vigilance. Kanlaon is one of the country’s active volcanoes. It is situated on the boundaries of Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental.

Whoa, Mount Kanlaon making some noise! Alert Level 1, huh? That's a heads-up from the experts to keep an eye out, but no need to panic just yet. Phivolcs is on the case, monitoring the situation closely. Safety first, folks! Let's all stay vigilant and keep those affected in our thoughts.

Kanlaon just put on a sky-high fireworks show with a volcanic twist – nature's way of saying, "Look at me!"
