Authorities reported that nearly 13,000 people were evacuated from the southeast of the main island of the Philippines after the nation's most active volcano started spewing lava and sulfuric gas on Sunday.

About 88% of the people residing in the danger zone have been evacuated since the volcano's alert level was increased to 3 out of 5 on Thursday, and efforts to relocate the remaining people are still ongoing, according to the Philippine Provincial Information Office. One of the most active volcanoes in the world is Mayon, which is located on the island of Luzon about 330 kilometers southeast of Manila.
