Jan. 15 (UPI) -- More than 5,000 people in the Philippines province of Albay fled their homes over the weekend due to the restless Mayon Volcano.
Evacuations began Saturday after an ash eruption in the late afternoon. On Sunday, two steam-driven eruptions occurred, prompting more than 1,500 families to leave the cities of Camalig, Guinobatan and Malilipot, according to public safety officials.
