@mishelle13travels: 🌋 MAYON VOLCANO EXPLOSION | OCTOBER 30, 2026 11:57 AM (MNL TIME) This is a very spontaneous trip I organized with my 2 sisters from another mother from Manila to Bicol. With me on this trip were Ate Pie Abuzo and Mai Edmee Arika Blaed . They are real sisters and I am also their sister from another mother.😘 It was Mai’s birthday on October 30, so how could I say no to her invitation? ❤️ I also had my own personal intentions for this trip, making it even more meaningful. 🙏✨ Special thanks to Ahmed Ezra Bigtas for helping me make this trip smooth and hassle free! Four days before I planned trip, I was in the office and he was my seatmate . Since I am always friendly, I talked to Ahmed and when I found out that he is from Daraga, I knew it that he is the one who can help me make this sponti trip unforgettable! 🏨🚗 We flew✈️ all the way from Manila to Daraga to reach Bicol as early as 4:45AM. Thanks to Philippine Airlines for my Mabuhay Miles membership that I was able to book 2 last minute flights on a very economical way. And takes PAL for calling and texting me when we almost missed our trip. For the first time we were on the last final call to board because we were so busy with our “selfie moments” at the boarding gate(I will upload a separate airport vlog of our trip as it was super funny!). Anyway, you are the best PAL! We arrived in Daraga Albay early morning around 5:45, and we traveled straight to our hotel accommodation at Casa Bicolandia Suites . We had to wait for hours before we can check in early. Finally past 9AM, we were able to get in to out accommodation. We were all happy coz our view outside is facing right next to the Mayon Volcano. 🌋🥹 Our room was upgraded for free to the best view because we got the best receptionist Joanne Olojan Magallones. Around 11:57 AM, while we were sitting, right in front of the breathtaking view of Mayon Volcano and busy sharing about my exciting love story , we suddenly heard a “buugsshh” sound. I saw the foam from the air conditioning machine, right in front of me also burst and flew into the air. 😱One massive explosion echoed through the air, leaving us startled and panicking for a moment. Then we reveived an Alert Level 3 SMS message, reported to the NDRRMC, leaving little anxious with my friends yet completely amazed by what we were witnessing with our own eyes. Then as a Girl Scout, I was so alert to ask everyone to prepare for evacuation while my friend Pie was busy documenting and putting the moment on Facebook live( I will share the link of her FB if it is not yet deleted) . While preparing, I shouted at her but still laughing, “Ano LIVE pa din bago magcheck sa Google Alert? Then she replied, I know, well it’s okay coz you are still going to check it anyway. Like I was amazed with her coz normally she gets panicky but at this time she did not even say any worried words at all than her “maarte” English accent while livestreaming. She was never scared more than Me and Mai. 🤣 So I asked Mai to check the news and then we received another few messages from NDRMC about the Level 3 Alert. I was anxious because why we did not receive any call or emergency 🚨update from the hotel while we are seeing the Mayon ashes falling erupting right in front of us. So I called the hotel to check the latest status and talked to Joanne, who became my instant sister in Daraga, and she said an unforgettable joke: “Oo nga po, pumutok , pawelcome message ni Mayon para sa birthday ni Mai!” 😂🎂 Okay lang po yan ganyan lang talaga yan si Mayon. And Tita Grace Agnes Bigtas my amazing coordinator also texted and reminded us to be careful outside and wear mask and follow any updates. But what amazed me was when she told me that we were so lucky, because so many tourists dream of witnessing Mayon’s beauty such as this “Hello Welcome to Albay” explosion moments in a good way not the scary side💥 , yet not everyone gets the chance to see it this close, but WE DID! #mayonvolcano #volcano #explosion #fyp
