LEGAZPI CITY: The restive Mount Mayon has been glowing for several months now, indicating possible magma buildup, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.

Philvolcs is conducting a ground survey to check the possibility of magma buildup, Paul Alanis, Phivolcs chief and resident volcanologist in Bicol, said in an interview.
