More than 12,000 people flee homes as lava spews down Philippines’ Mayon volcano

THE PHILIPPINES’ MOST active volcano has been spewing lava down its slopes, alerting tens of thousands of people they may have to quickly flee a violent and life-threatening eruption.

With the volcano beginning to expel lava last night, the high-risk zone around Mayon may be expanded should the eruption turn violent, said Teresito Bacolcol, director of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. From a distance, Associated Press journalists watched lava flow down the volcano’s southeastern gullies for hours last night.People hurriedly stepped out of restaurants and bars in a seaside district of Legazpi, the capital of northeastern Albay province about 8.5 miles from Mayon.
