Residents of Philippines have been warned off hazardous volcanic eruption after lava and ash spewed out of the Taal volcano. It is the second most active volcano, situated in the middle of a lake in Manila. Homes and streets across the region were covered in ash dust and grit. Almost 10,000 people have also been evacuated after tremors and lightening started in the region. Scary pictures showing the intensity of the ash and lava spewing out of the volcano have been shared on social media.
