LEGAZPI CITY — Mount Mayon, the Philippines’ active volcano, exploded thunderously Monday, sending
a huge gray column of lava fragments, ash, and steam 10 kilometers into the sky and prompting
authorities to warn that a violent eruption may be imminent.

The noontime explosion sent superheated lava, molten rocks and steam cascading down Mount
Mayon’s slopes and shrouded nearby villages in darkness, said Renato Solidum, chief of the Philippine
Institute of Seismology and Volcanology (Phivolcs), and other officials.

In a bulletin issued at 1 p.m., Phivolcs raised the alert level to 4 on a scale of 5, which means an
explosive eruption is possible within hours or days.

A danger zone around Mayon was expanded to 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the crater.

“If the eruption is vertical, it’s possible pyroclastic flows or pyroclastic density currents may cascade
down in all directions,” Solidum told a news conference, warning villagers and tourists not to venture
into the no-go zones and airplanes to stay safely away from the crater and ash-laden winds.

More than 27,000 villagers have fled since Mayon started acting up more than a week ago.

The volcano had started showing increased activity or unrest since Jan.14.

Mayon is in coconut-growing Albay province, about 340 kilometers (210 miles) southeast of Manila.
With its near-perfect cone, it is popular with climbers and tourists but has erupted about 50 times in the
last 500 years, sometimes violently.

In 2013, an ash eruption killed five climbers who had ventured near the summit despite warnings.
Mayon’s first recorded eruption was in 1616 and the most destructive, in 1814, killed 1,200 people and
buried the town of Cagsawa in volcanic mud.

The Philippines lies in the so-called “Ring of Fire,” a line of seismic faults surrounding the Pacific Ocean
where earthquakes and volcanic activity are common.

The San Agustin Church was the only building left intact after the destruction of Intramuros in WWII.
Built between 1587 and 1606, it is the oldest church in the Philippines. The massive facade conceals an
ornate interior filled with objects of great historical and cultural merit. Note the intricate trompe l’oeil
frescos on the vaulted ceiling. Be sure to check out the tropical cloisters as well as the slightly shabby
gardens out the back.

The present structure is actually the third to stand on the site and has weathered seven major
earthquakes, as well as the Battle of Manila. It’s an active church and much in demand for weddings and
other ceremonies.

You can access the church through the newly renovated San Agustin Museum, a treasure house of
antiquities that give the visitor tantalising glimpses of the fabled riches of Old Manila. Check out the
vaguely Chinese–looking Immaculate Conception statue in ethereal ivory.

The church is closed to tourists during Mass, though you may be able to sneak in.

Lipa (Tagalog pronunciation: [liˈpaʔ]), officially the City of Lipa (Filipino: Lungsod ng Lipa), is a first class
component city in the province of Batangas in the Philippines. It is one of the three cities in Batangas
aside from Batangas City and Tanauan).[5] It is located 78 kilometres (48 mi) south of Manila and is the
most populous city of Batangas with a population of 332,386 people according to the 2015 census.[4]

The city is named after a species of tree in the Urticaceae family, lipa (Dendrocnide meyeniana), known
for the stinging trichomes on its twigs.

Lipa City is a recreational, religious, commercial, health and an educational center of the Province of
Batangas.The city hosts the site of the 1940's apparition of the Virgin Mary.

The city is also home to the Fernando Air Base, headquarters of the Philippine Air Force's Air Education
and Training Command (AETC), known in military circles as the Baguio of the Armed Forces of the
Philippines. The summer camp of the Air Force of the Philippines.

The Southern Tagalog Arterial Road (STAR) and South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) provide access to
Batangas City and Metro Manila.[6]
Etymology[edit]

Batangueños from the early years had their settlement in Bombon Lake and began dispersing to other
places when the volcano erupted. While a group of people was moving to another settlement area, the
image of St. Sebastian was stolen from them and later on was found on a tree called “lipa”. People
believed that the patron saint wished to name that place “Lipa" .

History[edit]

remove this template message)

The primal composition in the southeastern region of Bombon Lake were elements of the dispersed
colonial families founded by Datus Dumangsil and Balkasusa in Taal, Batangas, between the 10th and
13th century AD. These pioneer settlers under the leadership of the fleeing Datu Puti, chief of state of
the then mighty Srivijaya Empire, purchased the lowlands from King Marikudo of the Mountain Province
at his kingdom. The purchased lands consisted of Panay in the Visayas and the lowlands in Luzon
including Batangas. The ten (10) Bornean Datus divided among themselves the purchased lands, the
Batangas Bay were apportioned among the Dumangsil and Balkasusa Clans.

It is however subject to conjecture whether the pre-historic Negritos 12,000 to 15,000 years age or the
much later waves of Austronesian seafarers from 5,000 to 300 B.C. were able to settle along the coasts
of Batangas into the inner lake region of Taal which was accessible to navigation through the Pansipit
River, thus, the possibility of miscegenetic marriages and cross culture among the aboriginal inhabitants,
the old settlers and the latter Dumangsil and Balkasusa Clans. Or whether violent wars had been waged
between old inhabitants and new colonizers is uncertain too, incontrovertible proofs being wanting.

Out of this Bornean Tribe of the Dumangsil and Balkasusa Clan was born the ancestry of Lipa and as later
on their descendants spread out towards Laguna de Bay and Bicol Peninsula. The remains excavated
from their ancient settlements in Butong, Taal, Calatagan Bay Area and Balayan attest to the fact of their
presence in the said site at least in the latter part of the 12th century down to the coming of Goiti and
Legaspi in Batangas in 1570. The flourishing trade relations between these early Batangueños with a
number of Chinese merchants prior to the Spanish conquest explained the presence of hundreds of
Chinese wares from potteries to stonewares and vases of Song dynasty period to the latter part of the
16th century, in the burial grounds at Calatagan sites of Pulung Bakaw, Kay Tomas, Pinagpatayan I and II
at Butong, Taal Batangas.

By origin the early Lipeños were Buddhist in religion and Indian in civilization. With its not infrequent
contact with the Chinese traders, the Batangueños have absorbed and been influenced too by China.
With the Spanish colonization of the Philippines and the Salcedo conquest of Batangas in 1572, the
Lipeños were forced to embrace Western Civilization.

Spanish Rule[edit]

At the coming of the Spaniards to Batangas in 1570, the Malay settlements along the southern shores of
Taal Lake at Tagbakin was inhabited by the warlike descendants of the two (2) datus called the Tagalogs.
In 1605, after Marshall Gabriel de Rivera received the encomienda of Bombon, the Augustinian Fathers
made Tagbakin the first settlement of the Lipeños and a mission center with the name of San Sebastian,
perhaps after the installed Patron Saint, which continued to the present. The settlement was made a
regular municipality in 1702 and a regular parish in 1716 with Fray Diego de Alday as the first curate.

With the eruption of Taal Volcano in 1724, the people moved to what is now "Lumang Lipa" and, again,
in 1754, they moved to Balete where they settled for two years until 1756 when they moved inland to
the present site obviously for more security from volcanic eruptions. When Don Galo de los Reyes was
the governadorcillo of Lipa, he introduced the cultivation of coffee. The seeds of the Arabica species
were said to be of two chupas brought in from Mexico by an Agustinian missionary. The coffee industry
so flourished and made Lipa the richest municipality in the country with an annual income of
P4,000,000.00 that on October 21, 1887 the Queen regent Maria Christina, acting for the young King
Alfonso XIII, signed a decree elevating Lipa to a city known as "Villa de Lipa", and later authorized to use
a coat of arms by the Royal Overseas Minister Don Víctor Balaguer.[7]

At the celebration of the elevation of Lipa to a city in January 1888, José Rizal was invited by Dr. Jose
Lozada, Catalino Dimayuga and the brothers Celestino and Simeon Luz but Rizal responded only with his
Hymno Al Trabajo which he dedicated to the zeal and industry of the Lipeños.

The raising of cacao was introduced in Lipa by an Augustinian priest, Father Ignacio de Mercado, and
that was the beginning of its cultivation throughout the Philippines.

The Lipeños also engaged themselves in livestock raising and varied home crafts for men, and small
industries, like weaving, embroidery and sewing for women. After World War II, citrus production
prevailed until 1970 and, after its decline, about 1965, poultry and swine raising began to take roots and
to thrive in no small degree until the present.

The first newspaper in Batangas, published in Spanish, was the Lumubog-Lumutang, printed in Lipa in
1889, and established by the well-known writers Cipriano Kalaw, Gregorio Katigbak, Benito Reyes, Hugo
Latorre and Pedro Laygo. Other pioneer Spanish writers were Bernardo Solis, Catalino Dimayuga and
Manuel Luz. During the revolution, Gregorio Aguilera Solis edited a newspaper Columnas Voluntas de la
Federacion Malaya. This paper became the media for notable poems and literary works of Albino
Dimayuga, Baldomero Roxas, Luis Lina Kison, Bernardo Solis, Benedicto Solis, Emiliano Manguiat and
Petronio Katigbak. Roman Dimayuga wrote plays, while Pedro Laygo published articles on domestic and
international politics and Tomas Umali on military affairs. Hispanistas during the American regime
included national figures like Teodoro Kalaw, Fidel Reyes, Arsenio Luz, Max B. Solis, Enrique Laygo and
Claro M. Recto. Lipeños also served in the Revolutionary Republic. These were Gregorio Aguilera who
was delegate to the Malolos Congress; Ceferino Pantoja, also a member of that congress; Jose Lozada,
as envoy to Washington, D.C. and Paris, and Cipriano Kalaw, the first vice-president and Treasurer of the
Central Committee of Hong Kong.

In the field of education, Father Valerio Malabanan was foremost among Lipeños who established
schools. Others were Sebastian Virrey, Jacinto Silva, Candido Lantin and Gregorio Katigbak. In 1894,
Brigido Morada established his own school at his house in Mataas na Lupa. Under Father Valerio
Malabanan were such well-known figures as Apolinario Mabini, General Miguel Malvar and Sotero
Laurel. Sebastian Virrey countered with such former students as the brothers Alfonso and Claro M.
Recto; Fidel and Carmelo Reyes; Teodoro and Maximo Kalaw; Pacifico, Jose and Enrique Laygo; and
Manuel Luz Roxas, Jose D. Dimayuga, Bernabe Africa, Pablo Borbon, Potenciano Malvar, Leoncio Aranda
and Bishop Alfredo Obviar.. The later school, perhaps marked for permanence by the enthusiastic
patronage of its high standard maintained through the years since its founding in 1922 until the present,
is the Mabini Academy established by Dr. Jose Ma. Katigbak, Randall A. Rowley, Tarcila Malabanan-
Katigbak and Emilia Malabanan. The fact that Lipeños, even up to the present, are very religious, may be
attributed to the fact that Fr. Benito Baras, who was Parish Priest of Lipa for almost three decades
(1865–1894), has considered Villa de Lipa as his very own and had shown great paternal love for the
Lipeños. He constructed the Parish Church (now Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Lipa) and a new and
bigger cemetery with a beautiful chapel. Without aid from the State, he constructed the bridge at
Sabang and the road that served as a national highway to Manila and Laguna. The Lipa Parish,
established in 1716, became a diocesan center in 1910, included the provinces of Batangas, Laguna,
Tayabas (Quezon), Marinduque and Mindoro, with Msgr. Jose Petrelli as the first bishop. On August 15,
1972, the diocese was raised to an eccelesiastical province composed of Batangas province and the
dioceses of Lucena, Infanta and Calapan, with Msgr Alejandro Olalia as the first Archbishop. On August
31, 1947, Lipa was inaugurated as a chartered City created under Republic Act No. 162 approved on
June 20, 1947.

Geography[edit]

Lipa covers an area of 20,940 hectares (209.4 km2) at an elevation of 1,025 feet (312 m) above sea level.
Lipa's fishing area is located at barangay Halang, in the west of the city; it is actually a portion of Taal
Lake, which is connected to other municipalities (Cuenca, Mataasnakahoy and Balete).

Lipa is bounded by the town of Santo Tomas in the northeast, San Pablo of Laguna and San Antonio,
Quezon in the east, the municipalities of Padre Garcia and Rosario in the southeast, the municipalities of
Ibaan and San Jose in the southwest, the municipalities of Cuenca and Mataasnakahoy and Taal Lake in
the west and the municipalities of Balete and Malvar in the northwest.

The city's location, in a valley between Mount Malarayat and Mount Makulot, makes it a low-risk area
for natural disasters. These two mountains serve as a windbreak during typhoons. Mount Makulot, in
the west, also served as shield during eruptions of the Taal Volcano.

Barangays[edit]

Lipa is subdivided into 72 barangays; San Jose was formerly known as Patay.[8] In 1955, the sitios of
Duhatan, Tagbakin, Initan, Malabong and Halang (then part of the Pinagtungolan barrio) became an
independent barrio.[9] In 1957, the sitios of Waniwani, Sayatin and Look were moved from the Balete
barrio to the barrio of Look.[10]
