MAS MATAAS ang buga ng usok at mas matagal ang pagyanig ng lupa sa paligid ng Bulkang Mayon, mgapatunay na nagbabadya ang malakas na pagsabog. Dahil din sa pagbulwak ng lava, amoy asupre na angmga lugar na malapit sa bulkan, ayon sa Phivolcs. Ang mga pangyayaring ito ay pahiwatig ng isang

eruption, ayon sa Phivolcs. Ngunit maari pang magkaroon ng mas malakas na pagsabog. INQUIRER WIRES

EGAZPI City Nailikas na halos lahat ng tinatarget na45,366 katao sa 31 barangay sa loob ng 6-8-kilome-ter-radius danger zone mula sa bunganga ng Bulka-

ng Mayon at tumutuloy na ngayon sa 26 emergency centers.Hazardous eruption can hap-

pen today or in the next few days,ani chief state volcanologist RenatoSolidum, dinagdag na maaari ring

walang pagputok na maganap. No-body has a 100 percent accuracy.

Tinaas ang alerto ng Mayon saisang antas na lang bago ang haz-ardous eruption. Pinakamataas naantas ng alerto ang binibigay ka-pag nagaganap na ang aktuwal namalaking pagsabog.

Lumakas ang pagbabagangnatatanaw mula sa bungana ng2,460-metrong Mayon sa lalaw-igan ng Albay. Nasilayan din sabulkan ang pagtaas ng pagbuga ng

abo noong Lunes ng gabi, ani EdLaguerta, resident volcanologistng Philippine Institute of Volcanol-

ogy and Seismology (Phivolcs).Narinig pa rin ang pahinto-hin-

tong pagdagundong sa nakalipas na24 oras, at patuloy ang pag-agos ng

nagbabagang lava sa mga dalisdisng Bonga-Buyuan, Miisi at Lidong.Umabot na sa 5 km ang lava naumagos sa panig ng Bonga-Buyuan.

Nasukat sa 6,530 tonelada ka-da araw ang pagbuga ng sulfurdioxideindikasyon ng papataasna magma sa loob ng bulkan, aniSolidum.

Technically, Mayon volcano isalready erupting because lava hasoozed out, ani Mahar Lagmay,propesor ng geological studies sa

University of the Philippines. Posi-ble pa ang isang mas malaki atmas malakas na pagsabog, aniya.

Avatar takes homeP57-M Christmas bonus

IT only took four days forAvatar to rack up more thanP57 million in ticket sales inthe Philippines and with more

than 370,000 admissions todate.The immersive, jaw-drop-

ping story and 3d technologyused by James Cameron in

Avatar had moviegoers gush-ing at the overwhelming visu-al experience.

Mr. Francis Soliven, Gener-al Manager of Warner Bros.(Phils.), distributor of 20thCentury Fox films enthuses,This is an absolutely thrillingresult in the Philippines, mir-

roring the outstanding open-ings of Avatar all over theworld.

In Avatar, Jake Sully (SamWorthington) finds himself en-gaged in hostilities against thenative populace on a distant

planet. As an Avatar, a humanconsciousness in an alienbody, he finds himself torn be-tween his loyalty to his mili-tary origins and that of the in-digenous people called Navi.

The movie also starsSigourney Weaver, StephenLang, Giovanni Ribisi,Michelle Rodriguez and ZoeSaldana.

Fondest Christmas memoriesBy Dolly Anne Carvajal

IZA CALZADO: When I wasabout 6 or 7 years old, myparents told me I wasnt goingto get a Christmas gift. But

when the 25th came, they

gave me a Shy Violet (fromthe Rainbow Brite cartoon)doll.

JED MADELA: Last yearwhen I celebrated ChristmasDay with the elders from Asilode Molo. Together with myfamily, we organized a simpleparty and gift-giving for them.Seeing the elders smiles andhearing their laughter is price-less!

CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA:

When my Dad gave Tamiyacars to me and my brothers.

We broke it before Christmaswas over. But it was so muchfun.

BARON GEISLER: Whenour house burned down in2004 and 2006, we lost every-thing, but surprisingly, buo parin ang Pasko namin. I wasamazed that it was our happi-est Christmas. Kahit dikumpleto ang gamit namin,kumpleto kaming pamilya atmas nag-bonding kami.

DINGDONG DANTES: Itwas those Christmases when Istill believed in Santa Claus. I

would always look forward tothe gift-giving ceremony onChristmas Eve when Santa

would really be there. Itturned out he was just a stout

American with a white beardand semi-long white hair.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2009 11SPORTSWish ni Wynne

HALOS alam ko na kung anoang isasagot ni Wynne Arbole-da, suspended cager ng Burger

King, pero tinanong ko pa rinsiya kung ano ang kanyang

wish this Christmas.Just as I expected, unang-

una sa listahan ni Wynne angmakapaglarong muli sa PBA.

Ito kasi ang buhay ko,bukod pa sa pagiging hanap-buhay, sabi niya.

According to Wynne, patuloyang praktis niya everyday kahitsuspended para hindi mawalasa kundisyon ang katawan.

Praktis ng basketbol, simba ev-ery Sunday at madalas na pag-dalaw sa mga kaibigan angkanyang regular routine lately.

"Siyempre ang isa ko pangwish ay magsama-sama kami ngpamilya ko under happier cir-cumstances. Ito ang patuloy napinagdarasal namin ng wifeko, sabi ni Wynne.

HHHHH

All the while akala ko natuloy

mag-migrate sa Australia ang PBAlegend na si Bong Alvarez.

Kaya naman nagulat ako whenI received a call from Bongs wife

Almira last week asking if theycould drop by the house to deliv-er their Christmas gift.

As it turned out, hindi pala

sila natuloy sa Australia and infact, tatakbo daw na konsehalng Quiapo si Bong in the 2010elections.

Sa Quiapo lumaki si Bong atmalaki ang tsansang manalosiya as one of the councilors.

According to Almira, hindi nasila tumuloy dahil ang eldestdaughter nila has been signed toa recording contract. Ewan kokung kanino nagmana ang bata

pero maganda daw ang boses.HHHHH

Ingat sa mga magdidilihen-

sya ng pamasko. Tingnan nyonga ang nangyari sa former PBAteam manager at governor na siElmer Yanga.

Isang photographer angwalang tigil sa pangungulit kayElmer for dole outs at nang hin-di agad matugunan ng huli ayipinagkalat na patay na siya.

Imagine, umabot ang balitahanggang Las Vegas. I firstlearned about it from DindoPumaren who was also in Vegas

at the time. Tinanong daw sakanya ng isang friend, pero hin-di naman niya ma-verify kungtotoo o hindi.

Anyway, sabi ni Elmer ang tu-too daw namatay sa pamilya ayang kanyang aunt Angelica Yanga

who died single at 89 years old.Kung gusto nyong dumalaw,

her remains lie at the Floresco Fu-neral Homes along M.H. Del PilarStreet, Tugatog, Metro Manila.
