Living near Mount Mayon means that one is under

the government's census. This affords one access

to water, electricity, jobs, stores, and schools.

Also, those living near Mayon (some 30 kilometers away)

were among the 5,000 souls that got buried by 20 metres

of lahar that typhoon Reming had loosened from the ravines

of Mount Mayon's previous (months, weeks ago) mini eruptions.

How about upping the level?

How about living at Mount Mayon itself

where no trappings of civilization exist?

There are farmers living at a high-altitude

(who farm very little for food grows wild).

Water is abundant for it practically rains

all day (each time a cloud passes by,

the volcano is awash with rainwater).

So how does one adapt to such a hermitic life?

If one is falsely accused of a crime or a criminal,

the freedom of a mountain provides sanctuary.

If one is a New Peoples Army cadre,

the mountain's isolation is a refuge

from the shackles of an unjust society.

Besides, people from developing countries

have little choice in adapting to conditions.

But to someone like me (who farms at Mount Mayon)...

how do I adapt living there for a week then come down

and adapt anew to the drudgery and ennui to life in the city?

I am forced to adapt since I have no choice either.

The city is where I must sell our organic produce

while the mountains grow uncontaminated food.

People live near mount mayon because of the good sources that they can get. when we say good sources it means by good food, water and the jobs. Even though there are disadvantages about it these are some of the reasons why people choose to live near the volcanoes.

Hope this helps. JJJJJJJJ
