Number 1 in the Pacific Rim volcanoes

Mayon has undergone forty-nine eruptions in recorded history.
The first recorded major eruption was in 1616.
Its 48th and latest major eruption was a quiet effusion of lava
on July 14, 2008 which was aggravated when a lahar caused by
the rains of Typhoon Durian followed on November 30, 2006.
A further summit eruption occurred on August 10, 2008.
At present the volcano is weakly erupting
and may be building up to a larger hazardous eruption.

The most destructive eruption of Mayon occurred on February 1, 1814.
Lava flowed but not as much compared to the 1766 eruption.
Instead, the volcano was belching dark ash and eventually bombarding
the town with tephra that buried the town of Cagsawa—only
the bell tower of the town's church remained above the new surface.
Trees were burned; rivers were certainly damaged.
