Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Island Region, Philippines began erupting on June 3, 2024, when an explosive eruption from its summit vent spewed ash over parts of Bago, La Carlota, La Castellana and Canlaon. As a result, evacuations were ordered for five barangays near the volcano. The second volcanic activity occurred on December 9, with explosive eruptions generating a shockwave, and a plume visible as far away as the islands of Panay, Guimaras and Cebu. The third eruption started on April 8, 2025, followed by the fourth one on May 13, 2025.
About 57,563 people were affected by the June 2024 eruption, with 3,905 displaced from their homes. Additionally, 2,680 houses were damaged, and the estimated damage to the agricultural sector was US$3.07 million. Following the December 2024 eruption, around 40,489 people in the Visayas were affected. The agricultural sector suffered an estimated loss of US$681,314, with approximately 298.05 ha (736.5 acres) of land impacted. After the April 2025 eruption, more than 8,600 families—or about 28,272 people—from 34 barangays in Negros Occidental and Negros Oriental were displaced.
