Legazpi, Philippines – Time-lapse footage recorded at 12:20 a.m. on March 3, 2026, shows Mayon Volcano continuing its relentless eruption, with lava flows spilling from the summit crater and repeated collapses, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS-DOST) reported.

The effusive eruption has now persisted for 57 consecutive days, producing incandescent lava flows, pyroclastic density currents—known locally as “uson”—and frequent rockfalls.

PHIVOLCS-DOST stressed that Alert Level 3 remains in effect, and entry into the 6-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone is strictly prohibited due to ongoing hazards.

Authorities continue to monitor lava paths and pyroclastic flows closely, warning residents that the volcano’s activity shows no signs of slowing.

Communities near Mayon’s slopes are urged to stay vigilant, follow official advisories, and avoid venturing into restricted areas.
