                    [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.
