A New Zealand man has taken it upon himself to distribute supplies and evacuate people following the dramatic eruption in the Philippines. The volcano spewed fountains of lava, ash and steam into the air - blanketing surrounding areas and causing frequent earthquakes. "It's partly falling on private citizens to do whatever they can to help," Styles said. Crops have been destroyed and water supplies cut off, Styles said. Supplied Styles initially went inside the exclusion zone, when it was open, to help stranded animals.
