LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines— The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology recorded an ash explosion in Mayon Volcano early Wednesday, which caused ash fall in Albay towns located southwest and northwest of the volcano.

"The explosion, which occurred at around 1:58 a.m., is a clear sign of magma intrusion toward the summit crater of the volcano," said Alex Baloloy, Phivolcs science research analyst.

The explosion, which lasted for about three minutes, was accompanied by rumbling sounds. Residents in the towns of Camalig, Guinobatan, Polangui, Oas, and Ligao City reported experiencing the ash fall.

Baloloy said, however, that the height of the ash column was not recorded because clouds covered the view of the volcano and it was still dark when the explosion happened.

(Sung to the tune of WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND)

Christmas rush, are you list'ning
In the lanes, cops are whist'ling
A horrible sight, another long night
Caught in a Manila Traffic Jam.

There's a jam in Ayala
There's a flood in Buendia
A bus cuts me here, a truck hits my rear
Caught in a Manila Traffic Jam.

It will be this way until Tayuman
We'll see jeepneys stopped when they should go
We'll ask, "Nasiraan?" He'll say, "No man."
Naghihintay ako ng pasahero!"

Later on, we'll perspire
As we fix a flat tire.
We're moving so slow, we can't seem to go.
Caught in a Manila Traffic Jam.

Thanks Angel!

"Isa ito sa problema sa ating mga Pilipino, karamihan sa atin ay maka-sarili at hindi na iniisip kung ano ang mas makakaganda sa nakakarami bagkus ang iniisip nila ay ang kanilang mga sarili lamang. Ang statement ng isang Mayor ng pampanga na mas

"Iba kapag may nalalapitan ka sa Itaas"

Ay nagpapatunay laang na laganap na ang koruption at patuloy na lalala^ ito hanggat may mga taong makasarili.

Patriotism is long lost gone in the hearts of most Filipinos.

MANILA - Mayors in the 2nd district of Pampanga want President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to remain in power because they don't want to lose their connection to someone high up in the government.

Last Wednesday (9/17/2009) Cotabato Auxiliary Bishop Jose Colin Bagaforo issued a veiled warning to presidential candidate Sen. Noynoy Aquino indicating that the senator's support of the Reproductive Health Bill which he co-authored in the Philippine Senate could be detrimental to his presidential aspirations. Aquino, who currently leads the pack of presidential contenders is a strong supporter of sensible population control for his overpopulated Philippines.
