Philippines’ Vice President Leni Robredo like’s Trump’s idea as a way to permanently protect Filipinos living in and around her country’s most active volcano, Mayon.F580E1A9-A0BB-4ABA-8536-556544F3837E

The almost perfect-cone mountain has gone into active mode again, erupting several times in the last few weeks and posing danger to residents because of its lava flow.

During her visit to the residents affected by the volcanic eruption, Robredo told reporters that she will propose to build a great wall around the volcano to protect, once and for all, the residents from the effects of Mayon’s eruptions.

”It’s time we came up with a permanent solution to this frequent problem,” Robredo told The Adobo Chronicles.

Earlier, the VP also brought up the idea of pouring concrete into the volcano’s crater to permanently seal it and prevent it from future eruptions.

Jover Laurio’s ‘Resibo’ and Rene Astudillo’s ‘The Adobo Chronicles’ tied in first place in the NYT Best Seller List this week.

Raissa Robles’ ‘Marcos Martial Law: Never Again’ was a very distant second, but still in the top three.

Book publishing has finally come of age in the Philippines and in the Filipino diaspora.

All three authors are also bloggers.
