At least 12,800 people have been evacuated from the area around the mountain as volcanic activity intensifies.
Mayon, the Philippines’s most active volcano, has begun sending lava down its slopes, as volcanic activity increases in an area that is home to tens of thousands of mostly-poor farmers.
Lava began to appear on Mayon’s slopes on Sunday night and Teresito Bacolcol, director of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said that authorities were on alert for further developments.

Al Jazeera’s Barnaby Lo reports from Legazpi City, in the province of Albay, the Philippines.
