5. Something really special about it.
Well, I’ve read quite a number of facts about this volcano in FilipiKnow just like
1. Mayon Volcano’s worst eruption killed 12, 000 people2. Mayon Volcano is Philippines’ most active volcano3. Mayon Volcano’s longest eruption lasted for 7 days4. Cagsawa Ruins was once home to snakes5. Mayon Volcano came from a slain princess
which are quite cool to know. My personal experience that I will never forget was when I saw the volcano during the night. It literally spits fire from the mouth and the night uncovers all this happening. It only goes to show how active the volcano is. It might be dangerous but the beauty that it offers to everybody is truly priceless.
These are the pictures I have taken in June of 2013. Enjoy!
