📅 TODAY IN HISTORY: June 7, 1938 — The Fiery Might of Mt. Mayon 🌋

On this day in 1938, Albay witnessed one of the most spectacular and powerful eruptions of Mayon Volcano in the 20th century.

The eruption sent a massive, vertical ash column towering thousands of feet into the sky, visible across the entire province. Accompanying this terrifying yet majestic display were devastating pyroclastic flows—superheated gas and volcanic matter—that raced down its flanks. A primary lava flow pushed heavily down the eastern slope, reaching an elevation of 570 meters, while smaller lava streams branched out toward the SSW, west, NW, and NNE flanks.

This historic event remains a definitive chapter in our local history, underscoring Mayon’s highly active nature and serving as an enduring reminder of the incredible resilience of the Bicolano communities living under her beautiful, watchful shadow.
