'All in God's hands': Taal Volcano evacuees hunker down TaalVolcano

SANTO TOMAS, Batangas — The fine ash drifting into the school gym on gusts of wind is a constant reminder for evacuees in the Philippines of Taal Volcano that threatens to bury their homes forever.

Dionglay recalled Taal's last eruption in 1977, when his hometown of Talisay had escaped largely unscathed.
