Authorities reiterate that entry into the 6-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ) is strictly prohibited due to the risk of PDCs, lava flows, and falling rocks.</p><p>Civil aviation authorities advise pilots to avoid flying close to the volcano&#x27;s summit, as ash from sudden eruptions can be hazardous to aircraft. Residents outside the PDZ are urged to stay vigilant and prepared for potential ashfall or lahar flows in the event of heavy rainfall.</p><p>Monitoring remains continuous as Phivolcs tracks the movement of the PDCs and the rate of lava effusion.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/regions/2026/1/20/phivolcs-intensifies-monitoring-of-mayon-s-activities-reminds-residents-of-heightened-vigilance-1622">Phivolcs intensifies monitoring of Mayon’s activities; reminds residents of ‘heightened vigilance’</a></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7qQiScxB2EU?si=V0ZGQHQXXZUc4aS1" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
