The Mayon Volcano southeast of Manila has been bellowing smoke and ash for a couple of weeks now. There is lava flowing on the east side. This volcano is only 15 km from Divine's provincial home where she is spending the holidays. She called today to say she was OK. There is alot of ash and breathing is difficult. They don't go out much.We have had some hazy days here in Manila with ash blowing to the west. Here are some pictures from local papers. An article in the paper said there have been over 1,000 small earthquakes a day for the last week. They are predicting a major eruption any day now.

How far is this from ya'll?
It is about 150 KM from Manila to the southeast. We will only get ash in this area but it could get heavy if there is a major eruption.
Wow! Those are incredible pictures. I'm glad ash is all you will have to deal with, but that could be messy for a while. Will you have to wear the doctor face masks when you go outside?
Not so far but there are many who already wear masks in Metro Manila because of the pollution. Divine said msot people in her province are staying indoors right now.
