i don't know the exact time it erupted but i do remember that terrible earthquake that proceeded the ashfall that reached other countries.

i was in the house sick. it was the very first time in a long time that i really got sick and have to stay in bed for a couple of days. i was standing when that happened and i thought it was only my condition that made me feel as if i'm falling. the shaking continued and i thought that was a terrible flu i'm having. until a pen rolled from my study table. then i thought that it was an earthquake. it was the first time in my adult mind i experienced that.

I was in the dormitory in UP with my friends when it occurred. I remember our initial reaction was, "Is it snowing?" Turned out it was the ashfall from the eruption. But I can't recall if we felt the aftershocks from the earthquake or not.

i was a kid that time and i thought that ashfall was snow.. my family in in manila when mount pinatubo erupted and we can still feel the earthquake and ashfall it brought. my mother took us inside the house coz ashfall are not healthy for children's lungs.. we went under the table when earthquake happen. hehehe we still think its fun that moments but when we saw the news and heard how many people died in that incident, we felt sad and sorry. and we thank our mom, who tried to save us from our hardheadedness(PASAWAY).

happy mylotting..

I think I was in the school that time. I was an Elementary student of that time. And we still remember the streets full of ashes around us. We live in Bulacan that time.

I was in Grade 1 when Mt. Pinatubo was erupted. I remembered ashfall are everywhere. We lived in Pasay City that time. There so many victims that time in Pampanga and many buried in the lahar. Nature heal itself now Mt. Pinatubo is a beatiful place and turn it as a tourist spot.

I was at my granny's place in the south when mount pinatubo erupted.. i was shocked as the ashfall reached other places/countries as well.. i got scared because i don't know what's going to happen next.. it might bring another dreadful earthquake or something that could affect or could take away thousands of lives.. hope no dreadful earthquake would happen again..

I think I was in Alabang on my aunties house lying in the bed or sleeping or sipping the bottle of milk...

I think it was 1991 when it erupts, more or less two years since i was born :D
But that eruption was really devastating and the most largest on 90's.

I was inside my mother's womb that time. :-)
I wasn't able to witness this natural phenomenon but my mother used to tell me it was really terrible especially on the part of those living near the volcano.

I was at my cousin's debutante party (18th) and it was an outdoor one. It just started "raining" ashes and we all headed for the house, my poor cousin. I think I was 14 at that time.

I was at home sleeping... and when i woke up... i thought it was already night time... but when i looked at the clock... it was only like 1 pm... i couldn't have slept that long... and when i went out... i saw that it was raining sand... and everything was covered with it...

I actually thought it was the end of the world... and we had to leave our home to go to Manila... but returned the following day and stayed at may grandparent's house...

I was far away from where Pinatubo is. I was in Bicol at that time and still was a student then. I was at home when it said that it erupted. I saw it all in TV and it was horrifying for me but then we never felt the tremor nor the eruptions at all. But then when I look northwards from our balcony I could see the thick brownish cloud going upwards. It took maybe a day before the ashfall reached us but the ashfall was not that much it was like gray dust the fell from the sky and it did not last that long. There were less damage in our place back then unlike those that were in Zambales and Pampanga.
