Bulusan volcano explodes ashes; magnitude 5 quake jolts Sorsogon

This is a headline from a Phillipine news source: www.pia.gov.ph...

Mt. Bulusan surprised anew its nearby residents by the sudden explosion of ashes from its crater at around 8:11am this morning, Nov. 6.

Mount Bulusan went back to life after being quiet for almost three years since its last activity in July 31, 2007.

In other development, prior to the explosion, a magnitude 4 earthquake rocks Sorsogon City and Irosin town at 12:41 also this morning, Nov. 6. Earthquake Information No. 2 released by DOST-Phivolcs reveals that the epicenter with magnitude of 6 was noted at 36 kms of San Pascual Burias Island with 021 (shallow) depth of focus. Possible source was at Sibuyan Sea Fault, tectonic in origin. Reported intensities were: 5 in Lignon Hill, Legazpi City in Albay; 4 in Sorsogon City and Irosin town in Sorsogon, Masbate City in Masbate and the town of Sto. Domingo in Albay; and 3 in Cebu City.

The volcano, while only currenly on Alert Status 1, appears to have been affected by recent seismic activity in the area. Although this is a fair distance to the north east of the Indonesian activity it is an interesting development given the tectonics in the region.

I would be interested to see if you can help discover if there could be a link.
