This alert level reflects frequent quakes and tremors and other geological unrest, and that eruption is possible within days to weeks. Philippine government officials have advised residents within the permanent six-kilometer-radius danger zone to resettle to safer areas. The U.S. Embassy in Manila reminds American citizens that the Philippine government has issued a bulletin cautioning residents and travelers to stay away from the danger zone around the volcano and to avoid gullies and rivers that might channel dangerous volcanic flows to downstream areas. Although authorities are closely monitoring the volcano's status, volcanic events are difficult to predict. Therefore, the U.S. Embassy urges all Americans contemplating travel to the vicinity of Mayon Volcano to evaluate carefully the potential danger of such travel. Gullies radiating out from Mayon can easily serve as conduits for loose volcanic debris that may travel at high speeds for significant distances beyond the volcano's base. Americans in the area are urged to strictly observe any Philippine government restrictions on travel into the permanent danger zone, and to pay close attention to daily status reports issued by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology. American citizens are also encouraged to inform the U.S. Embassy of any travel plans in the area. The U.S. Embassy is located at 1201 Roxas Boulevard, Manila City, telephone (63-2) 523-1001, fax (63-2) 522-3242. The Embassy's website is http://www.usembassy.state.gov/posts/rp1/wwwhmain.html. The Department of State also encourages American citizens considering travel to the Philippines to review the general information available in the Department of State's latest Consular Information Sheet for the Philippines and its Public Announcement concerning a series of violent incidents that have made travel unsafe in certain areas. This information is available on the Internet at the Embassy's website or on the Bureau of Consular Affairs' home page at http://travel.state.gov. This Public Announcement extends the Public Announcement of February 1, 2001 concerning the volcano and expires on August 01, 2001. ------------------------------ From: Victor Cushing Date: Tue, 01 May 2001 19:57:40 -0400 Subject: eskrima: Re:Guru Yana One of my students is contemplating studying with one Guru Yana, a Silat Perisai Diri Instructor in the greater New York area. Does anyone of this list know of him? Vic Cushing ------------------------------ From: Kes41355@aol.com Date: Wed, 2 May 2001 18:46:15 EDT Subject: eskrima: Re: more praise for Tom Bisio Hi all, One of my teachers and best friends, Alan McLuckie, was quite close to Mr. Bisio for many years. To this day Al talks about Mr. Bisio's genuine, humble nature as a person, and raves about Mr. Bisio's martial skills. Al does not hand out praise lightly, and has been around the block more than a few times over the years...still, Mr. Bisio remains one of the most talented martial artists that he has met. I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Bisio, but have seen him on video tape, and I stand in awe of his skill. Plus, his warm giving personality is evident even on tape. From what I know of the man, the MA world could use more representatives of Mr. Bisio's caliber.
