    Bulusan Volcano June 12
    RESTIVE VOLCANO | The restive Mount Bulusan (height: 1,565 metres) in eastern Philippines erupted once more early on Sunday, June 12, 2022. It was a much bigger eruption than last week's, with ashes covering a wider area. Volcanologists said the explosion occurred at 3:37 am, blanketing the nearby towns and villages in thick ashes. The province of Sorsogon is about 3 times the size of Singapore. Image Credit: Sorsogon PIO

    ASH-COVERED | The eruption lasted about 18 minutes, and left a huge swathe of the Sorsogon province and neighbouring Albay in eastern Philippines covered in volcanic ash. Mt Bulusan is one of the three active volcanoes in the Bicol region, out of the 24 active in the archipelagic country (there are a total of 300 known volcanoes in the Philippines, most of which are extinct or dormant).

    STEAM-DRIVEN: The eruption was driven by “phreatic” activity — meaning "the explosion was caused by the boiling water under the crater," PhiVolcs head Renato Solidum told a local media. Another steam-driven eruption in possible in days, weeks, months ahead, the official said. Over the past 400 years, there have been a total of 44 significant eruptions recorded in the Philippines.

    VILLAGES AFFECTED: The local government of Sorsogon province, about 500 kilometres (310 miles) south of the capital Manila, said 10 villages in two towns were affected by the massive ashfall. The alert level was raised to one on the five-level system, indicating "low-level unrest”. Image Credit: Sorsogon PIO
