The Church of the Holy Spirit L9 2009 mission trip has been cancelled. Surely the cancellation will not stop us from praying for the people of Bicol, even as they face an imminent eruption (Please see news item below). If anyone (non-L9s, at least L10) or any other ministry (not necessarily from the Church of the Holy Spirit) is interested in organising a mission trip to Bicol in December or late November, please contact missionariesinbicol@gmail.com .

To the L9-09 youths who journeyed with Uncle Al for eight weeks as part of the mission formation programme, many thanks, and your efforts are truly appreciated. AMO hopes that even though the mission has been cancelled, you now have the heart and mind of a missionary, ready to tellt he good news not just in Judea and Samarai, but to teh ends of the earth!

7,000 around Mayon ready for evacuation

LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines—Close to 7,000 residents—or 1,675 families—living around the slopes of Mayon Volcano are being readied for evacuation once the volcano's alert status is upgraded to level 3.


Albay Gov. Joey Salceda said the 7,000 residents was only the initial target of evacuation in the cities of Legazpi, Tabaco and Ligao and the towns of Guinobatan, Camalig, Daraga, Sto. Domingo and Malilipot once the alert level is raised.


The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology raised the alert level status of the volcano from one (low-level unrest) to two (moderate unrest) on Friday after showing signs of increased unrest.


Alert level 3 means that there is an increased tendency towards eruption and there is relatively high unrest.


Vehicles were on standby for possible mass evacuation of residents should the abnormalities of Mayon further intensify. Authorities have started informing the population at risk and updating critical resources data of cities and towns around the volcano to determining the number of people to be placed in safer grounds.


City and town disaster councils around the volcano to are on a 24-hour watch, review their respective contingency plans and evaluate their communications and warning capacities.
