The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) raised Friday afternoon the alert level of Mayon Volcano in eastern Philippine province of Albay due to increasing unrest.

The state-run agency said that alert level 2 was raised for Mayon Volcano as magma was intruding at depth and that current conditions may eventually lead to a larger eruption.

It was reported whilst I was living in Dumaguete only three years ago that Valencia was due to blow within the following ten years and living within 5 miles of Valencia made us feel uncomfortable at the time!:Erm:

The Mayon volcano was a sight to see, even though it was just the top of the cone, this is a place that is on my list to see and photograph again,

Its one of those places that you just can sit and watch it for hours. Roll on Phils time :xxgrinning--00xx3:
