Mt. Kanlaon Closely Monitored After Mt. Taal Ash Eruption
The whole country of the Philippines was shocked when Mt. Taal erupted last January 12, 2020 around 4:30 am local time. The Mt. Taal is one of the most iconic volcanos in the Philippines because of its geographic beauty. The volcano is in the middle of a huge lake and one of its side has almost a symmetrical cone. Due to the eruption, the PHILVOCS in Canlaon City are monitoring its volcano for the safety of thousands of people in Negros Oriental.
Keeping a Close Eye on Mt. Kanlaon
After the eruption of Mt. Taal, the active volcano of Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental has been closely monitored. According to Robinson Jorgio, office-in-charge of PHIVOLCS Cebu, they are continuously monitoring the Kanlaon Volcano and have always advised the public to be prepared. He also assured that the ashfall happening in Luzon will not reach Cebu since the province is far from the Taal Volcano and winds are not that strong.
