Learn Mayon by asking better questions.

How to use this library

  1. Begin in the landscape. Open the experience and make an observation before reading an explanation.
  2. Name the evidence. Ask whether the claim comes from terrain, a historical source, monitoring, erupted material, or an interpretation.
  3. Read the limit. Every guide distinguishes an educational illustration from a direct measurement or a live forecast.

Source-led, not source-shaped

Every guide links to the evidence record that supports its use. Start with the Mayon sources and evidence guide, then use the methodology page for technical limits and the public change log for updates.

Educational, never operational

These guides support learning. They are not current alerts, forecasts, evacuation advice, or a replacement for PHIVOLCS and local authorities.
