PAGASA Weather Forecaster Meno Mendoza explained the phenomenon in Panahon TV’s 5:00 a.m. broadcast. “Ang mga volcanic lightning na ‘yan, ay dahil sa pagbabanggaan ng particles na nanggaling sa bulkan. Dahil sa banggaan na ‘yan, nagkaroon ng tinatawag na static electricity na siyang nag-produce ng volcanic lightning.”
