Philippines' most active volcano: Mayon eruption may last months | DW News
Nearly 15,000 people have left their homes since the Philippines' most active volcano began showing signs of restiveness. A six-kilometer danger zone was expanded by one kilometer once the Mayon volcano began spewing hot lava. Authorities warn volcanic activity may persist for months.
Mount Mayon is situated in the eastern province of Albay, some 330 kilometers south of the Filipino capital of Manila. The Mayon Volcano stands at a height of 2,462-metre (8,077-foot) and is a popular drawcard for visitors to the region due to its conical form. It is considered to be the Philippines most active volcano - last erupting in January 2018. There have also been no less than 50 eruptions in the last 500 years. The Philippines is part of the so-called "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific Ocean, where volcanic activity and earthquakes remain common. The most destructive eruption took place in 1814, when 1,200 people were killed and the town of Cagsawa was buried beneath volcanic mud. More recently, in 1991, the eruption of Mount Pinatubo, around 100 kilometers northwest of Manila, left more than 800 people dead.

Sorry Ezekiel, she is staying with me. 😅
Legazpi city is my province. People there know exactly what to do during eruption. Typhoon with more rain are more dangerous than actual the eruption. It is when the lahar deposits roll down the slopes in many directions bringing in sands and boulders as big as cars and Vans that fill the streets and lands as high as 10ft or more.
Sad for my relatives whom I haven't met since my birth, but I've been praying for you all, my BRONCANO, & PADUA clans. Be safe all. God bless🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Thank you very much for this contENT DW
I'm from that region but working in Manila, it's an active volcano....the average eruption is every 2-4 years. So people should know when and where to go. Human casualty is almost zero---unless the lahar is so overwhelming. Still, please pray for our people. Thank you.
It’s so scary😭😭😭😱😱😱😱
Oh no, months of eruption is bad news bears for everyone 😢
I am so saddened and empathize with the woman who has been displaced twice. Here having no home is becoming so common that laws against people living in tents from places where they are seen as a nuisance. Greedy people gentrifying city's and towns are pushing out people who could barely get by already. Then society blamed them. As always blame the homeless victim who has no money to move and has lost all.
I dont know about a comparative between Mayon and Pintatubo But there is a danger there which could turn catastrophic. God bless all the people and animals affected..
Mayon and Taal Volcano is the most active volcanoes in the Philippines.
Thankfully im in the antipolo street which is far from the volcano

Philippines is hard mode
Province of Albay is always prepared for this..since every 5 years it erupts
Why is it that when western news media cover events like this, they only look at the negative side oft he news? When in reality, the province of albay where mayon volcano is located is very very busy right now. Schools are open, business are open, its like ordinary day except for the volcano erupting. In fact, there is a tourism boom in the province right now. Hotels and bnbs are fully booked with local tourists as well as tourists from asia and to as far as europe coming in to witness the event. While its true there are evacuees but its a small portion of the population and help is being extended by govt

The volcano is the subject of their report. Why would they report about what's going on around it.
Something in Hawaii also happening, wonder where else is getting hit

LOL! I know how you feel, but let's wait for God to punish Putinland His own way. It'll come, their punishment, and then the indifferent Russians and their evil leaders and oligarchs will wonder how they got where they ended up.
Get ready for global cooling.
