Most active Philippine volcano spews lava, thousands ready to flee
The Philippines' most active volcano, Mayon Volcano, has started spewing lava, prompting officials to warn thousands of villagers to be ready to flee. Notably, over 13,000 people living within a 6-kilometre radius of the Mayon volcano have already been evacuated since volcanic activity increased last week. In 1814, Mayon's eruption buried entire villages and reportedly left over 1,000 people dead.
