The latest bulletin from the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) shows the Negros Island volcano also emitted 4,328 tonnes of sulfur dioxide, with a 150-meter-high plume drifting northwest and west.

Meanwhile, the volcano's edifice remains inflated, indicating sustained volcanic activity.

The Kanlaon Volcano Observatory documented around 70 instances of ash emissions throughout January 2025.

Alert Level 3 remains in effect due to its magmatic unrest.
