The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) on Thursday, July 4, has placed Mount Bulusan on Alert Level 1 amid signs of unrest. Due to increased volcanic activity, such as unusual earthquakes, changes in the ground, and gas emissions, it indicates that the volcano is currently in an unstable state.

PHIVOLCS has advised residents and local authorities to stay alert and take necessary precautions, as the situation could get worse. While there is no immediate danger, the public is encouraged to stay informed through official updates and follow safety guidelines to be prepared in case the situation changes.
