LOOK: Sped-up camera footages of ash emission from the Kanlaon Volcano summit crater at 5:21 PM today, 16 June 2026. This event generated grayish plumes that rose 400 meters above the crater before drifting southwest, as captured by the IP camera at Kanlaon Volcano ObservatoryโCanlaon City (KVO-CC). A total of 20 ash emission events have been recorded since yesterday, generating 100 to 500 meter-tall plumes that drifted to the general southwest. Alert Level 2 remains in effect over Kanlaon Volcano.

As we commemorate the 35th anniversary of the cataclysmic eruption of #Pinatubo, letโs get to know more about the volcanoes in the Philippines.
The Philippines sits in a highly active geologic setting, making it prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Beyond its faults and trenches, the country has ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ป ๐๐ผ๐น๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ๐ฒ๐, many of which are actually familiar mountains, according to PHIVOLCS.
๐๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฉ๐ข๐๐๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ฆ are those with recorded historical eruptions or geological evidence of eruptions within the last 10,000 years. These are the most hazardous, as they can erupt again and threaten nearby communities. PHIVOLCS lists 24 active volcanoes nationwide, with Mayon Volcano in Albay being the most active, having over 50 recorded eruptions.
๐ฃ๐ข๐ง๐๐ก๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฉ๐ข๐๐๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ฆ, formerly called โdormant,โ have youthful landforms and may have erupted within the last 10,000 years but lack recorded historical eruptions. Although they are not showing current activity, they are still closely monitored due to the possibility of sudden reactivation, as seen in the 1991 Pinatubo eruption.
Mount Apo, the highest peak in the Philippines, is one of the 27 classified volcanoes under this category, with sulfur deposits hinting at past volcanic activity.
๐๐ก๐๐๐ง๐๐ฉ๐ ๐ฉ๐ข๐๐๐๐ก๐ข๐๐ฆ have no known eruptions and are highly eroded, often showing deep gullies and worn-down structures. Many Philippine mountains fall under this category, with around 360 inactive volcanoes identified by PHIVOLCS today. Even Laguna de Bay, a caldera, is classified as an inactive volcano.

๐ทCoastal Uplift sa Sarangani at Davao Occidental
Ang paggalaw ng Cotabato Trench na nagdulot ng Magnitude 7.8 Offshore Sarangani Earthquake noong June 8, 2026 ang tumulak paitaas sa ilang bahagi ng baybayin sa Sarangani at Davao Occidental. Ito ay nagresulta sa halos 2 metrong coastal uplift o pag-angat ng ilalim ng dagat (seabed) na dating nakalubog sa tubig.
Dahil sa uplift, lumawak ang lupain sa dalampasigan (umabot sa 200 metro sa ilang lugar) at nagbago ang lebel na naabot ng tubig-dagat (tide level).
Ang ganitong landform na nabuo pagkatapos ng isang malakas na lindol ay hindi nagpapahiwatig na may padating pa na tsunami.
