LEGAZPI CITY—The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) recorded a few volcanic earthquakes in Mount Bulusan Monday and Tuesday, but this did not mean it would lower the alert level any time soon.
In its bulletin Tuesday, Phivolcs detected 23 quakes on July 4 and 19 on July 5.
