JUBAN: A volcano in the Philippines spewed a huge column of ash into the sky on Sunday , blanketing a region still recovering from last week's eruption.
"I thought it was just raining, but when I looked outside there was ash everywhere," resident Antonio Habitan told AFP."Our river was once clear but now it is ash-coloured."No casualties were reported, but the seismological agency raised the alert level to one on the five-level system, indicating"low-level unrest".
Emergency workers were deployed to clean ash-laden roads and guide drivers struggling to see oncoming vehicles.Juban's local disaster office said 366 people were in emergency shelters, with most evacuated days before the eruption due to a series of volcanic earthquakes.
