Bulusan in Sorsogon erupted again at 11:35 a.m. Friday, spewing a two-kilometer column of ash and other pyroclastic materials.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Eduardo Laguerta, Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology-Legazpi resident volcanologist, said it was a phreatic-type explosion, the ninth since it showed renewed activity last year, with its last activity recorded by Phivolcs on February 22.<\/p>\n<p>A huge volume of emitted materials fell at the northwest portion of the volcano, particularly on the towns of Juban, Casiguran and several villages of Irosin town.<\/p>\n<p>Laguerta said the heat and pressure of the volcano amassed at the upper portion of Mt. Bulusan, causing the phreatic-type explosion.<\/p>\n<p>After this episode, the tendency for the volcano is to rest for several days, weeks and even months before it explodes again, the veteran volcanologist said.<\/p>\n<p>With the present activity of the volcano, he said, it will not be like Mt. Mayon here which has had powerful explosions.<\/p>\n<p>Laguerta said Mt. Bulusan had its strongest explosion in 1922.<\/p>\n<p>He warned residents around the volcano to be extra careful, avoid entering the four-kilometer permanent danger zone and use face masks to avoid inhaling ash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LEGAZPI CITY \u2013 Mt.
