[Oscar in Batangas]

The vice-mayor (?) of Talisay did so much “rumbling” that the national gov’t just said “to heck with you ALL” and arbitrarily imposed a 16 km evacuation order all around Taal.

Fortunately, our mayor’s head is screwed on well, and at least gave some of us who are in the ‘shadows’ of the hills a bit of leeway. (I’m at about the 12 km ring, if I remember correctly)

I am in the shadow of Mount Apo. I have heard rumors, that it rumbles once in awhile. I know some people climb it, and say the weather is radically different up there, but it never snows.
Some of the resort swimming pools get their water from Apo, and it feels like there are ice chunks floating in it.
I was in Lipa City in 2018, but never made it to Tagaytay that year.
