[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.

[Title] => 6,000 Botolan villagers told to remain on alert
[Summary] => BOTOLAN, Zambales — Some 6,000 residents of six barangays here have been told to remain on "evacuation alert" despite the "successful" breaching of Mt. Pinatubo’s crater lake last Sept. 6.
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.

[Title] => Pinatubo crater lake can be tapped for hydro energ
[Summary] => 
ANGELES CITY — There’s a cheaper and less dangerous way of draining water from Mt. Pinatubo’s crater lake, which can generate hydroelectric power too.
A group of foreign and local engineers and businessmen, in a press briefing here yesterday, said a simple siphoning mechanism, which will cost less than P2 million, can drain the lake at a rate of 2.5 to five million cubic meters of water a month.

[Title] => Bad weather drives Pinatubo workers away
[Summary] => Heavy rains forced Aeta tribesmen yesterday to temporarily abandon a dangerous mission atop Mount Pinatubo, where they were to try to drain a crater lake to save their villages in Botolan, Zambales from possible flash floods, an official said.
The eight tribesmen, accompanied by two government engineers and 11 porters, began their work Friday after slaughtering a pig and pouring a bottle of gin on the crater in an ancient ritual to seek protection from the volcano god.

[Title] => PINATUBO LAKE’S ARTIFICIAL BREACHING: No choppers to airlift workers to crater
[Summary] => BOTOLAN, Zambales — Assistant Secretary Florante Soriquez of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) lamented yesterday the failure of the military to provide a helicopter to airlift workers to the Pinatubo summit to begin work on the "artificial breaching" of the crater lake.
The workers, mostly Aetas, are to scrape 3,200 cubic meters of soft debris at the crater lake’s lowest point leading to the Maraunot River, to allow a "calculated" flow of water downslope.
