A pyroclastic flow from collapsing lava deposits on Mayon volcano's southwestern slope occurred before nightfall on Saturday, scattering ash over 87 villages in three towns and leading to the evacuation of more than 300 families. No human deaths or injuries were reported, though vegetable farms were damaged and five livestock animals died in Camalig town. Philippine officials, including Phivolcs director Teresito Bacolcol, stated on Monday that there was no explosive eruption amid ongoing mild activity since January.
