I don't think I'd be going out on a limb saying that it's been a rough year for the Philippines. Just a few weeks ago, several dozen people were massacred on the island of Mindinao. Earlier this year the island chain was hit by two, count 'em TWO, major typhoons causing massive flooding in Manila. And now? Just in time for Christmas, 47,000 people have to evacuate from a massive volcano that's about to blow.

Anyone out there in the Philippines? Tell us what the view is from where you are.
