    from what i remember vaguely about pinatubo,

    everyone was congratulating everyone.
    one of the most significant volcanic eruptions in recent history,
    and a "mere 350 casualties".

    and alberto garcia's picture of their great escape, is one of the greatest photographs of all time.
    few understand, that had their vehicle stalled,
    they would have perished.

    it is difficult to convince the populace that the supposedly dormant volcano ("bulkan yan? hindi ba, bundok lang yan?") is about to erupt big-time.
    he also gave me a "1" in geo 11.
