Ako Bicol Partylist builds 6-lane highway within Mayon's 6km danger zone <br /><br />A six-lane highway built by Ako Bicol Partylist within the six-kilometer permanent danger zone set by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) around Mayon Volcano has become a route for trucks that haul materials from quarry sites in the area. The highway, a far cry from the roads in Albay where commuters experience heavy traffic and never ending reblocking, has an array of streetlights and a marker that reads 'Ako Bicol Road, Mt. Mayon Circum' and is watched by private security guards 24/7. Albay Gov. Noel Rosal ordered a two-month suspension of quarry operations across the province through Executive Order 0211 series of 2025 to regulate the extractions after the Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office reported over extractions. <br /><br />VIDEO BY RHAYDZ BARCIA<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Stitcher: https://tmt.ph/stitcher<br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#themanilatimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#philippines<br />
