Last January 12, 2019, one of the language assistants, Daisy Dianne, was saddened on the news of the Taal Volcano eruption in her country, the Philippines, in which some of her relatives were greatly affected with the ash fall. This volcano has been inactive for more than four decades, and it has not shown any signs of activity since its last eruption in the year 1977.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology(PHIVOLCS) subsequently issued an Alert Level 4, indicating that "a hazardous explosive eruption is possible within hours to days. It was a phreatic eruption from the main crater that spewed ashes to Calabarzon, Metro Manila, some parts of Central Luzon, and Pangasinan in Ilocos Region, resulting in the suspension of classes, work schedules, and flights.
Watch the news telecast from BBC above to further understand the eruption and its devastating effect to the people in the provinces living close to it.
