                    [Summary] => LEGAZPI CITY — Volcanologists still cautioned local folk against venturing into the six-kilometer permanent danger zone of Mayon Volcano even if the five-step alert level was lowered from three to two due to the overall decline in the volcano’s unrest.


Volcanologist Ed Laguerta said the permanent danger zone remains off-limits since sudden explosions are still possible, though already remote.

Cedric Daep, chief of the provincial disaster management office, said the evacuees reside in villages facing no imminent threat.

Daep said the number of evacuees has swelled after residents of barangays not included in the "must evacuate" list have gone to the various evacuation centers, some of them apparently lured by the relief assistance.

LEGAZPI CITY -- Volcanologists here predicted yesterday a major eruption of Mayon Volcano in Albay if the present "discharge rate" of the lava pile increases about five times, from the present 0.7 to 2 cubic meters per second.

This developed as a crater glow was observed for about five minutes past midnight yesterday, indicating that magma or hot molten rock is nearing the volcano's summit, volcanologists said.

The magma, which has a temperature ranging from 2,000 to 2,500 degrees Celsius, cast a bright orange glow observed via a fixed telescope.
