Taal Volcano is one of the deadliest Volcano in the world because it's surrounded by a big lake and will be catastrophic, either tsunami or ashfall may occur..

Anything because of nature has a benefit we don't understand immediately...bless these people

We're documenting the nature in the north and the as the beauty and tranquility can be something like here, it can also be devastating like back home in the Philippines and Batangas province. Please stay safe and seek shelter early ❤️

I live 513 Kilometers from Taal. I'm pretty far but smoke might reach here eventually which is bad.
