Описание: January 12, 2026 Episode

We go in-depth on the latest news, the biggest national issues, the political scene, and conversations with prominent personalities — all these firsthand on "At the Forefront" with Gerg Cahiles only on BNC.

State seismologists at PHIVOLCS have recorded a pronounced increase in real-time seismic energy at Mayon Volcano, even as the edifice shows no significant swelling or ground deformation.

While the volcano remains under Alert Level 3, Director Teresito Bacolcol clarifies that this heightened seismic amplitude is primarily driven by background tremors from an open vent, rather than fresh volcanic earthquakes.

Despite the current lack of edifice inflation, the persistent threat of pyroclastic density currents (PDCs), incandescent rockfalls, and the onset of new lava extrusion necessitates the continued evacuation of the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone.

The current unrest, which mirrors the effusive eruption template of 2023, could persist for several months as shallow, degassed magma continues its slow ascent to the summit.

Join us for an essential update on the evolving risks and the scientific data guiding the province’s disaster response strategies.
