Thousands were evacauted as Mt Kanlaon erupts, sending plumes up to 3 km high, and spewing tons of sulfur dioxide.
We are glad we did not push through wiht series of development project (not because of volcano but because of other serious threat from insurgency)
Land is fertile, plenty of gtazeland, dearth of infastructure: opportunities in power, health, housing, agri. But it was a big No because of the threat of a volcanic eruption.
That is the reason why we avoided Tagaytay and Bicol too. Even in Rizal, around Laguna lake, threat of volcano is possible (Laguna Lake is a caldera accordingn to geophysicists)
You can see that Taal is in frequent fits. What if you have multi million project in Tagaytay: a golf course, a condo, a testo? Can you sleep at night (especially if your capital was borrowed?)
Is this decision correct? Is it being ultraconservative.
