Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) Director Dr. Renato Solidum yesterday said that the successive activation of four Philippine volcanoes at this time of the year is just "coincidental" since its activities are "dependent" on its heat or magmatic sources.
In a mobile phone interview with the Manila Bulletin, Solidum said, "The activities of the volcanoes are dependent on its heat or magma sources. It just so happened that the (four) volcanoes are active all at the same time."
According to Solidum, the period of unrest shown by the four volcanoes currently on heightened alert — Mayon in Albay, Bulusan in Sorsogon, Kanlaon in Negros Oriental, and Taal in Batangas — is just coincidental.
There are 22 active volcanoes in the Phlippines...luckily, the one nearest to us is inactive.
