'Mount Mayon in the city of Legazpi, Albay province, south of Manila erupted on January 25, 2018. Tens of thousands of residents were evacuated, as heavy rains have stirred fears of mudslides carrying debris spewed by Mayon.


Mayon, also known as Mayon Volcano or Mount Mayon, is an active stratovolcano in the province of Albay in Bicol Region, on the large island of Luzon in the Philippines. Renowned as the "perfect cone" because of its symmetric conical shape, the volcano with its surrounding landscape was declared a national park on July 20 of 1938, the first in the nation.

Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines, erupting over 47 times in the past 500 years. The first eruption for which an extended account exists was the six-day event of July 20, 1766.
