Philippines on alert as volcano spews ash, steam and lava

The Philippine government is on full alert, bracing itself for the possible eruption of the Taal volcano, the second most active in the Southeast Asian nation.
Forced evacuations took place on Sunday and about 8,000 people were moved to safer ground or housed in evacuation centres.
Roads to an evacuation centre in Talisay town on Monday were blocked with police saying that the volcanic ash had made the roads too dangerous to cross.
Al Jazeera's Jamela Alindogan reports from Batangas Province.

This is really scary. Not only that they have to worry about the eruption, earthquakes and air quality but also the people that will get sick after. Diseases will spread and it will take time for them to recover.

Keep safe Jamela. Safety first. We Filipinos are resilient in times of calamities...👊😷liked in Typhoon Haiyan & earthquakes in Mindanao, Marawi Siege, any kind of disasters caused by nature or even human. God is our refuge.

Increased global warming temperatures around 1.1 degree (average) causing sea warming.
As such happens, earth interior temperatures also increases. Further creates lava eruption.
