last night, my parents and sisters were watching a tagalog movie. the scenes for the film were almost entirely shot in bicol. in one of the dialogues the main character, upon seeing mt. mayon, said "not as grand as the grand canyon".
well i've never been to the grand canyon. i've seen pictures of it and i agree that it is indeed awe inspiring. but i believe that mt. mayon is 'grand' in it's own right. from it's gently sloping sides to its placidly smoking crater. i've seen it erupting at night as a kid, and it looks like it was weeping with lava. and then during the daytime you could see the thick gray smoke eminating from it that eventually nourishes the fertile land around it.
