                    [Summary] => LEGAZPI CITY — Volcanologists are closely watching Mt. Bulusan in Sorsogon, fearing that the Intensity 4 tectonic earthquake that rocked the region last April 17 might trigger volcanic unrest.


Volcanologist Alex Baloloy said a seismic sensor has been set up at the monitoring station in Barangay San Benon in Irosin, Sorsogon.

The temblor, felt stronger in Irosin and Sorsogon City, originated from the fault off Sorsogon Bay and had a depth of one kilometer.

Baloloy, however, said, "There is still no volcanic activity to speak of."

Volcanologist Alex Baloloy said the explosions occurred at 8:22 a.m., 11:19 a.m., 11:37 a.m. and 6:13 p.m., with the ash rising 100 to 150 meters high.

Baloloy attributed the ash explosions to small pockets of pressure inside the vent, causing "systematic clogging" as evidenced by the drop in sulfur dioxide emissions from 1,066 tons to 349 tons a day.

Resident volcanologist Ed Laguerta said the "phreatic explosion" occurred at 11:20 a.m. and the ash drifted toward the southwest direction.

Another such explosion was observed at 3:09 p.m. Sunday, with the ash column reaching about 150 meters high.

"(Mayon) is not yet silent," he said, adding the volcano remains inflated due to rising magma.
