FOUR earthquakes were recorded by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) in Mt. Bulusan in Sorsogon over the last 24 hours, GMA Network’s Flash Report said on Sunday.

The report also quoted Phivolcs as saying steam emissions from the volcano had weakened.

Nevertheless, Phivolcs maintained the Alert Level 2 it had raised over Bulusan and warned people from staying within the four-kilometer permanent danger zone.

Flash Report also said the Army’s 2nd Infantry Battalion was conducting “clearing operations” within the permanent danger zone in advance of evacuations scheduled for Monday.
