Couple of months ago, it was the Bulusan Volcano. Now it is the world’s most perfect cone and the Philippines’ most active volcano: Mayon Volcano’s turn to erupt.

YES ladies and gentlemen, the original Daragang Magayon is just warming up. The world hasn’t yet seen her current fury. Because for the first time in its eruption history, the danger zone went up to the 8 kilometer-radius.
She is still atrracting visitors and tourists and so people are advised to get out of her danger zone.
We haven’t seen the worst yet, BUT the world remains in awe of her majesty inspite of the lava she is spewing at the moment.
She sure is destructive and so safety measures are being implemented. Lucky for me (and my family), we are situated some 75 kilometers south of Legazpi City. We can’t even hear her rumble.
She must be a sight to look at but I’m to scared to see in person. Thanks to the regular live update on TV.
She sure is a beauty at night time. (photo credit: Tribune India)
