I am working on a project about the Mayon Volcano and I want to know if there were people killed on the 2009 eruption. Any important answers are appreciated. =)

The Philippine government should be commended on how they reacted to this emergency. At total of 44,394 people were evacuated from the 8 kilometer area around the volcano. The military patrolled this area to ensure no one snuck back in and to prevent looting. No deaths were reported.
