The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) announced Monday that it is considering recommending the evacuation of inhabitants living outside the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) of Mayon Volcano.&nbsp;
This occurred after Mayon had lava flow activity at 7:47 p.m. on Sunday, emplacing at least 500 meters along the Bonga and Miisi Gullies from the summit crater.&nbsp;
Due to "intensified unrest" or magmatic instability, Mayon Volcano is currently on Alert Level 3.
According to PHIVOLCS Directior Teresito Bacolcol, they may recommend evacuating all persons residing within a 7-kilometer radius of Mayon Volcano based on their monitoring of the volcano's activity.&nbsp;
He also stated that PHIVOLCS will not upgrade Mayon Volcano's alert level to Alert Level 4 "for now."&nbsp;
As of 5:00 a.m. Mayon Volcano recorded 21 volcanic earthquakes, 260 rockfall events, and three pyroclastic density current events on Monday.&nbsp;

While its edifice is inflated, a decent crater glow remains apparent to the naked eye. On Sunday, it also spewed 642 tonnes of sulfur dioxide.
