ashfall

Home of the Ashfall is an essay written by John Jack Wigley. It focuses on his experiences and insights during the eruption of Mount Pinatubo. Mount Pinatubo is an active stratovolcanic caldera in the Zambales Mountains, located on the tripoint boundary of the Philippine provinces of Zambales, Tarlac and Pampanga, all in Central Luzon on the northern island of Luzon. Pinatubo was heavily eroded and unobtrusive from view. The dense forests covering the volcano supported a population of several thousand indigenous Aetas. Its eruptive history was undisclosed to most before the pre-eruption volcanic activities of 1991, just before it erupted on June 15, 1991. I've learned to be resilient in life despite so many problems caused by so many tragedies and I have learned to always be prepared and be positive in life for any situation or disaster that comes to our community I can handle it.
