FYI,
it was Mt. Pinatubo located in mid Luzon, Philippines, which erupted in
1991.
On of the most important consequnsies was that the U.S. Air Force has to
leave Philippines (cause they were located near the vulcano and were afraid
that the pyroclastic clouds and ash would destroy the air field). Few months
later the Navy sailed away and finally the Philippinos felt they were free
from the Uncle Sam's tyranny. I guess U.S. is the only country in the world,
still having some (major) colonnialistic toughts.
