Call for Donations: GAAF bigay tulong for the victims of Taal volcano eruption
The Beautiful but potentially deadly Taal Volcano!
Batangas has been vulnerable to natural disaster due to the presence of the beautiful but potentially deadly “Taal Volcano”. Residents are aware of this but they still choose to go back to live there after the big eruption which sank 5 Batangas towns in 1754.
Who knew that it would suddenly become active again and bring devastation to life and property after many years of inactivity?
Now came the unexpected eruption of dark gray ash plumes with continuous volcanic earthquakes and some lightnings which prompted the evacuation of the many residents who are not psychologically and physically prepared to face this traumatic disturbance. Apparently, this is not the hazardous eruption yet which may happen in the next hours or days. We could not imagine how much bigger destruction it would bring if this happens.
The impact of a disaster like this is long lasting. It will take time for them to recover and rebuild their lives to normalcy.
