See with your own eyes the Philippines’ “Beautiful Disaster” as popularised by a local film. Located in the north of Metro Manila is the ever-active and famous volcano, Mount Pinatubo. The volcano was famous for two reasons– its hypnotising beauty and its disastrous eruption in 1991 that was felt worldwide as the “lahar” or mudflow wiped out the locals’ livelihood and negatively impacted the tourism industry in the area.
