LAUREL, (Philippines): Divers searching for dozens of murdered cockfighters in a lake south of Manila were forced to exit the water Thursday (July 17) when the volcanic island in its centre erupted unexpectedly.
The low-level eruption, which sent a plume of steam billowing 2,400 metres (7,900 feet) skyward from Lake Taal volcano, came a week into the search for the remains of people allegedly killed by rogue police for their involvement in fixing cockfights.
