At 11:52 AM on Monday, April 14, the Kanlaon volcano began emitting ash as tall as 800m from the summit crater. According to PHIVOLCS-DOST’s update, the ash drifted west-northwest of the volcano.
Moreover, the report by RH 46 Rex Cantong stated that PHIVOLCS-DOST’s resident volcanologist Mari Andylene Quinta said they are monitoring the ash emission and ash fall from the volcano.
