"Bayanihan" is often represented visually as a group or community of people moving the house of one of its members from one place to another, but here is a rare photo of a community moving the Mayon Volcano from Albay to Naga in Cam Sur.

Facebook users also produced a collection of funny memes.
Check out Mayon Volcano’s “world tour:”
Mocha later acknowledged her mistake and corrected herself during a live video on her Facebook page, where she also interviewed Taguig Mayor and Albayanon Lani Cayetano on relief efforts for those affected by Mayon's eruption.
While she mentioned several times in that video that Mayon volcano is indeed in Albay, a separate video clip was posted on Twitter where she said that Mayon is not in Naga, but in Bicol.
It was unclear which video this snippet came from.
