GWMinUS Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Some very sad reports from Manila and the areas south of there. The volcano centered in a beautiful Lake name Taal has erupted! Sending a plume of ash over 6000 ft into the air and covering many of the Provinces around it in white stuff!! Even closing the main Airports in Manila and Clark. I had been planning a few days on the beach in Batangas in March. Do not think that will be possible now!! The sad thing is that 8,000 to 10,000 people have to evacuate. No homes and not jobs!! Not sure what the Govt will do now to help?? My trip to the south, to Cebu City, is only 4 weeks away. Except of a typhoon I feel things will be fine in Cebu... CHEERS!! Quote
eurasian Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Difficult time for the evacuated people , hope the volcano becomes silent soon . If I am not wrong very little possibility for a typhoon in February , enjoy your trip and please don't forget to share your report with us . Quote
GWMinUS Posted January 17, 2020 Author Posted January 17, 2020 Chatted with my Guy in Manila. He says things are not very bad there. However flights are having to take longer paths and arrivals are particularly a problem because they usually approach from the South over Batangas. Quote
