In addition to the ash emissions, Kanlaon Volcano has recorded a series of seismic activities, logging 102 quakes. This level of seismic activity is consistent with the behavior of volcanoes that are experiencing unrest.

Residents and visitors in the surrounding areas are advised to stay informed about the situation and heed any warnings from local authorities. The alert level indicates that an eruption is possible, and safety measures should be observed.

As the situation develops, further updates will be provided by official sources to ensure public safety and awareness.
