    Luisa Silva used to live at the foot of the Taal volcano and said life will never the same. "Right now life is very hard, we are not used to this. This is where we have experienced things that we have never experienced before, we don't know where to start,'' she said. Image Credit: AP

More than 5,000 people, many of them working as tour guides, fled the small island as the ground shook and the volcano belched dark-gray ash and steam into the sky.
