Disclaimer
Important context for using an independent destination information website.
1. Independent website
PHMAYON is an independent destination information website focused on Mayon Volcano and Albay, Philippines.
We are not a government agency, tourism authority, volcano monitoring service or emergency information provider. The website does not issue permits or determine access to a location.
2. General information
Our content offers destination inspiration, cultural context and general travel preparation guidance. It is intended as a starting point for learning and further research.
It does not provide personalised professional advice, a safety assessment or a guarantee that an experience will be available or suitable for a particular visitor.
3. Information can change
Conditions, access restrictions, opening arrangements, prices and transport schedules can change. An article may describe information that was available at a different time.
Confirm current details directly with the responsible authority, venue or provider before travelling, making a payment or relying on a particular arrangement.
4. Volcano information and access
PHMAYON does not provide a live volcano alert level, real-time monitoring or permission to enter a restricted area.
Consult current official information and follow local instructions. Do not use photographs, weather, visual impressions or past visits to decide whether access is permitted.
Our general guides are not climbing, trekking or evacuation route instructions. A map marker or mention of a place does not establish public access.
5. Photographs and illustrations
Photographs show a scene at a particular moment. They do not confirm current conditions, visibility, access rights or the availability of an activity.
Decorative graphics and illustrations support the website’s presentation. They should not be treated as documentary evidence of an actual location, facility or experience.
An image appearing on this website does not grant permission to enter the location depicted or reproduce the image elsewhere.
6. Food and personal requirements
Food descriptions introduce regional dishes and products. Ingredients, preparation methods and portion sizes can differ between kitchens.
Confirm dietary requirements directly with the venue. Our descriptions do not certify ingredients, food handling or suitability for a person with an allergy or other requirement.
7. External links and services
External websites are controlled by their respective operators. Their information, terms and availability may change independently of PHMAYON.
A mention or link alone does not establish an endorsement, accreditation, partnership or guarantee. Review the provider’s details and terms before using a service.
8. Bookings and correspondence
Sending a message through our contact form does not create a reservation, travel booking or agreement to arrange an activity.
The form is intended for general website correspondence, including questions, content corrections and image rights enquiries. It is not an emergency channel.
9. Availability and applicable rights
Website access may be interrupted by maintenance or technical issues. Content may be corrected, updated or removed when appropriate.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that every item of information will remain complete, current or suitable for every purpose.
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes rights, remedies or responsibilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.
10. Corrections and questions
