Earthquakes are still taking place around the mountain, which sent huge clouds of ash into the sky on January 12. "If it gets to the muzzle, it can cause a strong explosion," said Rento Solidum, director of the Philippine Volcanic and Seismological Institute.
Authorities have declared a closed 14-mile area around the volcano, with experts saying warnings that its eruption could lead to rock and magma rain and create a tsunami in its adjacent lake. Signs of calm.
"We asked them to cease operations so that no tourist or local resident would be tempted into this area," Deputy Interior Minister Epimco Dunsign told reporters. More than 100,000 people have already abandoned their homes around the volcano and flocked to evacuation centers.
Tall, only 311 meters high, is one of the lowest active volcanoes in the world, though it may be deadly. In 1911, more than 1,300 people were killed in his outbreak. So far, there have been no fatalities in the recent outbreak and its economic impact is limited, though flights have been canceled after a heavy fall may have fallen in Manila.
