HOME OF THE ASHFALL
John Jack G. Wigley
The eruption of Mount Pinatubo was recorded as the second largest terrestrial eruption of the
20th century, and the largest eruption populated area. Ash fall, which formed a weighty,
rain‐drenched snow‐like film, affected almost the entire island of Luzon, and even
reached the neighboring countries of Malaysia and Vietnam. It was further aggravated
because of Typhoon Yunya, which brought with it heavy rains and strong winds. To the
Kapampangans and to the people affected by this tragedy, it would serve as a testament
to their irrepressible attribute of risingabouttheirplightandpredicament. I was no longer
living in Angeles City when Mt. Pinatubo erupted on June 15, 1991. I was promoted from
being a crew member at Pizza Hut Dau to management trainee at Pizza Hut Harrison Plaza in
December 1990. After being a service crew member for more than four years and
graduating from college in 1989, I had to say goodbye to my hometown where I lived for
more than two decades. It was my first time to work in manila. I asked the
assistance of Ed Calupitan, a fellow Pizza Hut Dau crew member now based in Manila, to
help me find a place to stay. He was living in a two‐bedroom apartment and gladly offered the
other room to me. Weeks before the eruption, I read several news and warnings
about Mt. Pinatubo. Frankly, I never knew that there was a Volcano in the Zambales
mountain range. Nobody among my Kapampangan friends did. I guess we were all
clueless about the impending danger this would cause in our lives. Later on, I realized
that the summit of the volcano was just fourteen kilometers away from the extent of
Clark Air Base. I thought that volcanoes were conspicuous mountains and had fierce‐looking
summits like Maycn’s and Haicon’s. But this one was deeply hidden among the several
mountains called the Cabusilan mountains” of Zambales. How a volcano had
managed to hide among the mountains and be covered with a defense forest was
something I couldn’t comprehend. If it was bound the erupt, I guess it would be
just like a firecracker. Hell, I thought that if there was a mountain near us which I imagined
would erupt anytime, it would be the Arayat, which was located at the heart of
Pampanga, with its open mouth and forbidding countenance. Not this obscure
mountain whose native inhabitants, the Aetas, never even Knew about, I paid no more
attention towarnings.I had only be e n i n Mani l a f or bare l y si x months and w as

see Mother during days off.
That fateful day, after opening shift, I went to see a film. It was “Hihintayin Kita sa
Langit”, a film adaptation of Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights” directed by Carlitos
Siguion Reyna. The film starred erstwhile lovers played by Richard Gomez and Dawn
Zulueta.Iwas feelingall mushyandmelodramaticafterwatching the film when, once outside, I
saw parkedcars coveredwithwhatseemed like awhitish-grayblanket, Andso were the streets.
“Is itfinallyshowinginManila?”Ithought,as I feltsome of the particles in my hand and smudge
my shirt. When I looked closely and touched them, they were grainy. It was like ash from an
ashtray.
