MANILA, Philippines 鈥� The summit crater of the Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Occidental emitted ash anew on Tuesday afternoon, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported.
In a time-lapse footage recorded by the Kanlaon Volcano Observatory, Phivolcs said that the聽 ash emission occurred from 3:49 to 4:27 p.m.
鈥淭hese events generated grayish plumes that rose 400 meters above the crater before drifting southwest,鈥� the state seismologist said in its Facebook post.
However, Phivolcs told 黑料社 that no vog was observed from its crater.
In its 24-hour observation posted early Tuesday morning, Phivolcs said that the volcano spewed 2,524 tons of sulfur dioxide that reached 600 meters tall that drifted north-northwest and northwest.
The emission is less than the 9,277 tons of sulfur dioxide that the volcano released the day before.

The volcano also recorded 11 volcanic earthquakes. Phivolcs previously defined volcanic earthquakes as those 鈥済enerated by magmatic processes or magma-related processes beneath or near an active volcano.鈥�
The volcano remains under Alert Level 2 or 鈥渋ncreased unrest鈥� where possible hazards such as sudden steam-driven or phreatic eruptions and precursory magmatic activity are possible to occur.
