MAyon's about to Explode:-O

Yeah I've seen on the TV that the crater is already glowing hot and is spewing lava going down the mountain. I remember as a kid when it erupted and we even visited and watched the eruption from a distance. Mayon Volcano though is an active volcano seldom does it erupt violently as compared to Mt. Pinatubo. It usually spews hot rocks but the eruption remains very calm. You may hear a thunder from time to time and a few rocks being thrown out of the mouth but it seldom hits populated area. Although they are making places near the foot of the mountain evacuate immediately because of these. Lahar flow are what is more dangerous as this usually flows after eruption and when rainy season arrives.

I hope nobody gets hurt. I read about it a little and it has has some pretty dangerous eruptions in the past. Hopefully there won't be anything like that this time.

It am scared when it explode this Holiday SEason. This season many people are busy on preparing for Christmas but on that place near the Mayon, they are busy on how to save themselves. Its sad to know we will anticipate a problem this Christmas. It will explode anytime soon as I had seen on the news it extracted a very hot lava. I hope all of the people near that mountain already evacuated as soon as possible. We can't fight nature, if it will explode, it will explode. The only matter is we are prepared.

Wow that sounds scary! I can’t imagine living near an active volcano like that! It reminds me of what happened in Pompeii and it is a frightening thought! I hope that everybody there is safe. Do you live close to it? It’s a relief that some people have been evacuated so it sounds like they are prepared. I pray it will be okay.

Hello Letran, I hope this will give us(the government)more attention rather than the Martial law issues and so-so issues at the senate and congress. I just wish the palace will give the best help and care our fellow citizens needs rather than vacationing and enjoying life(flying here and there). This is another crisis and very sad event for this season dear brother. Let's just pray no one will be get hurt,and every residents(near Mayon)will be safe.

We'll all just hope and pray that nothing bad will happen to the Filipinos living near the volcano when is erupts. It's really sad to hear this news especially when we know that Christmas is coming :( Hope all the Filipinos will be united again in helping these affected families to the things they will be needing, prayers most especially.

The government did a good job in evacuating the residents near the volcano. With it's eruption imminent, I think we'll see this before the year ends. I just hope and pray there aren't any casualties.

philvolcs is expecting that the major explosion happens within the next two days or so. i feel bad for those who are affected by this. i mean to spend the holidays in a cramped evacuation center is bad enough. going back home to ashes and lava makes everything worse! the government did well to forcibly evacuate those who are in the immediate danger and as well as providing relief goods this early. let me just comment on the fact that the sitting president is on vacation in hongkong as the country is undergoing another natural disaster. i know this is the holidays and president deserves some private time to spend the holidays with her family but come on, her going to hongkong with this hanging over our heads... it leaves a bad taste to the mouth. just my thoughts! cheers!!!

they should be out of the way when the lava started flowing down if they don't want to be a barbeque. seriously, they might ended being an ice cream in the river of more than two thousand degree magma like fluid.
