ALBAY, PHILIPPINES — 3 May 2026, Thousands evacuated after Mayon Volcano erupts, authorities warn of lava and landslides

Thousands of residents in Albay province, southeast of Manila, have been evacuated after renewed activity at Mayon Volcano sent ash plumes into the sky and blanketed nearby communities.

Mayon volcano spews ash as seen from Camalig, Albay province, Philippines on Saturday 2 May 2026. The Philippines said on 3 May that thousands of people have evacuated the area south of Manila after Mayon Volcano erupted, and the authorities advised the public to stay out of the 6km radius danger zone.

Authorities have raised Alert Level 3 on a five-level scale and warned residents to remain outside a 6 km danger zone due to the risk of lava flows, landslides, and further eruptions.

The volcano, known for its near-perfect cone shape and standing about 2,462 metres tall, is experiencing strombolian eruptions — moderate bursts that eject lava, gas, and volcanic debris intermittently.

More than 5,000 people are now staying in evacuation centres, as heavy ashfall disrupts transport and reduces visibility across affected areas.

Officials said the volcano is exhibiting strombolian activity, with intermittent bursts of lava, gas, and volcanic debris. Mayon, one of the Philippines' most active volcanoes, has been showing heightened unrest since earlier this year.

Mayon is one of the Philippines' most active volcanoes and a major tourist attraction, but authorities warn the situation remains volatile.

Check your digestive system—if you notice "floating stools," it could be a warning sign that you're consuming too much fat. Doctors reveal three important symptoms you shouldn't ignore and how to adjust your habits early.

Based on foreign media reports, the belief that "eating fat makes you fat" remains deeply ingrained among many people trying to lose weight. However, Dr. Li Sixian, a Chinese medical doctor, explains that fat doesn't directly convert to stored body fat—insulin levels are the determining factor. If carbohydrate consumption is properly controlled, fat becomes an efficient energy source that promotes longer-lasting satiety.

That said, consuming too much fat can negatively impact your body, particularly when three warning signs appear: floating stools, tightness or pain in the right rib area, and weight loss plateau. These symptoms may indicate your body is receiving more fat than it needs.

Dr. Li further explains that fat plays a crucial role in the body as a component of the brain, nerve sheaths, and cell membranes. Fat storage also depends on insulin as an intermediary. If eating doesn't trigger excessive insulin, fat is used as energy efficiently and helps reduce carbohydrate cravings—which is why some people on low-carbohydrate diets lose weight effectively.

However, fat consumption still has limits, as each person's ability to digest and absorb fat differs. If you consume more than your body can handle, watch for these warning signs:

1. Diarrhea or floating stools When fat intake exceeds your bile and fat-digesting enzyme capacity, excess fat passes into the intestines, causing diarrhea. If stools appear shiny and greasy, it may signal incomplete fat absorption, often seen in people with gallbladder problems or those who've had gallbladder surgery.

2. Bloating or pain in the right rib area You may also experience sharp pain radiating to the right shoulder. This is a warning sign that your liver and gallbladder are working overtime processing excess fat. If this occurs frequently after high-fat meals, reduce the fat in each meal.

3. Weight loss plateau This occurs in people on low-carbohydrate diets. When your body becomes efficient at burning fat but still receives large amounts externally, it won't tap into stored fat reserves—like continuously refueling a car, so there's no need to use the spare tank.

For those wanting to consume fat healthily, doctors recommend not avoiding it entirely, but finding the right amount for your body. Start with small quantities and gradually increase while monitoring your body's response, since everyone's fat-digestion capacity differs.

Also prioritize the "type of fat" over quantity, choosing fats from natural sources like olive oil, avocado, nuts, grass-fed butter, coconut oil, and fish oil, while avoiding industrially processed vegetable oils.

Doctors emphasize that learning to recognize your body's signals and finding your ideal consumption amount is key to long-term health.

On May 3, 2025, Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, following directives from Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchathip Chumklin and National Parks Department Director Arthapol Charounchansa, has escalated anti-poaching operations and expanded charges against the offroad vehicle owner suspected of involvement in illegal gaur hunting in Ban Mae Khame Bon.

Nitisat Nunsong, Director of Conservation Area Management Division 3 at the Phetchaburi branch, revealed that Mongkol Chaiaphakdi, Chief of Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, reported progress on the case. Illegal wildlife hunting triggered a forest fire that damaged over 10,000 acres. On May 1, authorities filed charges against "Mister Mud," also known as Sithiphon, under Section 19(6) of the National Parks Act B.E. 2562. Evidence from camera trap footage showed the suspect's offroad vehicle entering Ban Mae Khame Bon community area at the time of the illegal gaur hunt.

On May 2, park officials coordinated with the Department of Interior and executed a court-issued search warrant at a residence in Moo 4, Yang Nam Klat Tai subdistrict. The search recovered an illegally-held chainsaw, which was seized and documented as crucial evidence for prosecution.

Nitisat emphasized that the Conservation Area Management Division 3 will enforce the law with maximum rigor as directed by ministry leadership, particularly targeting those who exploit forest resources, causing ecological damage and contributing to the wildfire crisis.
