Phivolcs notes bulges near Bulusan

Residents of Irosin town in Sorsogon province in Bicol are starting to feel the "wrath" of Bulusan volcano as some of them reported smelling sulfur from it. This developed as the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) noted bulges in the grounds at the volcano's south sector, indicating magma flow underneath. Radio dzBB reported Friday morning that residents in Irosin town have started complaining of "sulfur smell" that they said likely came from the volcano. On the other hand, Solidum noted 62 volcanic quakes and an increase in sulfur dioxide levels in Bulusan in the last 24 hours. Solidum appealed to residents near the volcano not to steal the instruments Phivolcs had installed near the volcano. - GMANews.TV
