Just a few days after Mount Bulusan erupted, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), closely monitoring the status of Mayon and Taal Volcano, have issued a warning the two volcanoes could erupt following a slight rise in the low frequency volcanic quakes.

Jimmy Sonsioco, Science research specialist of Phivolcs said, "Recentely, there have been up to 20 earthquakes being recorded in Taal and Mayon compared to normal volcanic quakes that range from zero to four" (may mga pagkakataon na umaabot sa 20 lindol ang naitatala sa Taal at Mayon na mas  mataas kumpara sa zero hanggang apat na normal volcanic quake).

Phivolcs are also monitoring three of the other 23 active volcanoes in the Philipines; Mount Hibok-hibok in Camiguin Island, Mount Pinatubo and Mount Kanlaon in Negros Occidental.
