UPDATE: 1.28.18 Residents are warned to watch out for LAHAR, a concrete-like flowing substance which occurs when heavy rain mixes with ash. The only way to avoid the danger is to seek higher ground. This video shows a recent LAHAR flow that occurred in Bali as a result of the ongoing eruption of Mount Agung.

UPDATE 1.20.18
20 January 2018
Quiet lava effusion from the new summit lava dome and lava collapse events characterized Mayon Volcano’s eruptive activity in the past 24 hours. Five (5) rockfall events were recorded by Mayon’s seismic monitoring network. Rockfall events were generated by the collapsing lava front and margins of the advancing lava flow on the Miisi Gully and by shedding from the summit dome onto the Bonga Gully. Currently, the
Miisi lava flow has advanced to three (3) kilometers from the summit crater well within the PDZ. Ash clouds were lofted from the rockfall events as well as from the persistent disintegration of lava on the advancing front of the Miisi lava flow before drifting to the southwest.
Alert Level 3 remains in effect over Mayon Volcano, which means that it is currently in a relatively high level of unrest as magma is at the crater and hazardous eruption is possible within weeks or even days.
