Our latest report from Camalig town and Tabaco City in Albay:

A tent city was established in San Jose, Malilipot, Albay on January 8 to temporarily house Barangay Calbayog residents who have been displaced due to the increasing unrest of Mayon Volcano.

The tents were set up by DSWD Bicol, the Philippine Army, and the Philippine Coast Guard. Each tent can shelter a family of 5-7 people.

Thanks, @Gabie Torre - MovePH Intern ! In Tabaco City, DSWD red tents are also being used as shelters inside the covered court. I went there last night—full story coming in a bit!

While state volcanologists are not ruling out the possibility of Alert Level 4 being raised, Mayon Volcano is currently under Alert Level 3 as of January 9

As Mayon Volcano‘s unrest continues, an increasing number of residents are being uprooted from their homes and moved to designated evacuation sites. But in municipalities like Camalig, the “sanctuary” offered is a cramped reality: according to evacuees, as many as 13 families — roughly 35 or more individuals — are squeezed into a single classroom.

Evacuation sites in Camalig and Tabaco are grappling with a surge of evacuees days after Mayon Volcano was placed under Alert Level 3. Full story here: https://www.rappler.com/philippines/luzon/situation-albay-evacuation-sites-mayon-unrest-january-9-2026/

Watching this. One stretch of road along the Maharlika Highway that needs urgent attention is Andaya highway, which connects Quezon Province to Bicol. Damaged during the recent typhoons, hopefully fixed soon? Let's keep monitoring! https://www.rappler.com/philippines/dpwh-maharlika-highway-repair-target-2026/

While state volcanologists warn the public of an ‘increased tendency towards a hazardous eruption,’ the video circulating online doesn’t show the current state of Mayon Volcano
