“Mayon is quietly effusing lava flow from its summit craters and the lava flows are being transported to the south and southeast sector of the volcano,” Bornas said. Those living in the volcano’s permanent risk zone, according to Bacolcol, will have to remain in the shelters for at least the next few months.ADVERTISEMENT
“Unless we lower the alert level, we have no choice but to have those who live inside the permanent danger zone stay in evacuation centers. There should be no people in the permanent danger zone in the first place,” he explained.
