Social workers told The STAR that the existing food stockpile of the Department of Social Welfare and Deve-lopment (DSWD) would not be enough if more residents are evacuated due to a bigger explosion predicted by volcanologists.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised the highest Alert Level 5 and started evacuating re-sidents within the danger zone of six to seven kilometers around the volcano.

Rumbling could be heard as far as 10 kilometers away as the volcano ejected a 200-foot fountain of lava and ash clouds mushroomed 10 kilometers into the air.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) attributed the partial collapse of the lava dome, which was discovered last March 19, to the steady accumulation of magma at the crater, which is about 150 to 200 meters in diameter.
