Mayon Volcano shows off her rage, lava oozing from its crater and an occasional puff of ash shooting up to the sky, after a collapse at the Southern sector of the crater, facing Legazpi City.

Mayon evacuees cue for their merienda, this time bowls of chicken lugaw (rice porridge).

Mayon evacuees maintain orderly and safe cooking areas in their temporary shelters, which in this case is at the back of a school building.

Albay Gov. Joey Salceda presides over one of the meetings of the Albay Provincial Disaster Coordinating Council (PDCC) which he chairs.

The Christmas Spirit is alive at the evacuation centers. Here a lone star hangs at the ceiling of a school classroom that serves as a temporary abode for evacuees, while the children play and their parents were elsewhere.

Albay Gov. Joey Salceda distributes Christmas gifts and P100 to each of the children of the evacuees, during the Holidays. This is over and above the usual regular food rations and medical check ups.
