Taal Volcano Is Emitting Ash

I dont think this eruption will have any affect on property value one year from today.  Once the taal stops making a fuss.  The ash will get cleaned up and everyone will forget.  If anything it might bring in more tourists.  Let's g.j o see the valcano that erupted last year etc.

No, there is a whole story on it.  Wedding Sunday afternoon in Taygaytay and they pushed through.

I was made aware of the eruption from my friends and family back home in Hawaii the next day.  They just wanted to make sure I was not affected.  Amazing how oblivious you can get while vacationing the Philippines.

It should make for some spectacular sunsets.

Hope Smaal volcano doesn't start.

I'm a little surprised that no one on this group had any experiences during the MT. Pinatubo eruption.

I think you nailed it. Filipino's have a way of moving on from disasters. I admire them for that.

Aok here at the wedding reception here in Silang, Cavite.  This place must be really beautiful when it is not covered with ash.  They have done a good cleanup and the air quality is fine.

I 'lived through it' there.  Horrible experience.  Angeles City was never the same again. My apartment was damaged and then looted, while my partner and I were 'sheltering' down in Manila.  I have been back, and lived there on several occasions since.

My first trip to the Philippines was just after the Lahar incident, didn't that make a mess. The road out of San Fernando towards Olongapo was just a dike of compressed ash and the traffic was kicking up a tremendous cloud. The whole countryside looked like someone had just poured concrete over it with bits of roof poking out here and there.
