Quakes jolt restive Mount Bulusan

LEGAZPI CITY: Mount Bulusan in Sorsogon continued to show signs of restiveness as it caused at least five volcanic earthquakes, including an explosion-type one, during the past 24-hour observation period, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said Saturday.

The volcano has also been exhibiting a slight inflation of its edifice since May this year, indicating that steam-driven pressure could be building up beneath the volcano’s vent, Phivolcs resident volcanologist Ed Laguerta said.
