                    [Title] => Pinatubo crater wall collapses, but no danger
                    [Summary] => SAN FERNANDO CITY, Pampanga - The western wall of the Mt. Pinatubo crater has collapsed, but the government’s chief volcanologist, Raymundo Punongbayan, said this has lessened danger from the volcano.


Punongbayan, director of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), said the collapse occurred at the crater wall’s lowest point leading to the Maraunot River in Botolan, Zambales.

This, as scientists continue to observe how the flow of water through a man-made canal would affect the stability of the crater wall facing this town.

Scientist Jaime Sincioco of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs), however, said yesterday there is no cause for panic.

Pinatubo is not about to crack contrary to the alarm which the Regional Disaster Coordinating Council (RDCC) raised.


"What was observed as a crack on the Zambales side of the crater rim was merely a natural gully with a spring whose water source is not even the crater lake," said volcanologist Jaime Sincioco.
