Philippines’ Mayon volcano activity could last 3 more months

Albay, Jun 19 (EFE/EPA).- Philippine seismological agency Phivolcs said Monday that the activity of the Mayon volcano, the most active in the archipelago and which has already forced the evacuation of some 20,000 people in the country’s northeast, could extend for another three months.

"It will probably take 3 months before Mayon's activity ceases," Phivolcs director Teresito Bacolcol predicted Monday in an interview with local radio station Teleradyo. (Camera: ARCHIVE).
