The Taal volcano near the Philippines capital continues to spew lava up to 800 meters into the sky and is trembling constantly since Sunday. It may lead to a bigger and more dangerous eruption, as several people escaped villages darkened and blanketed by heavy ash. Government work has been suspended and schools are closed for now in many towns and cities, including Manila, due to the health risks from the ash.
