Lava fountains 500-600 metres high lasted from seven minutes to more than an hour and generated ash plumes 3-5km above the crater, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said.
The volcano has been spewing fresh lava and ash for almost two weeks.
Albay province, Philippines - Mt Mayon - famous for its majestic, near-perfect cone shape - is among the most active volcanoes in the Philippines, having erupted at least 50 times in the last 500 years.
In 1841, a blast buried an entire town and killed at least 1,200 people.
