Roads in the Philippines have been covered in a thick layer of ash after the eruption of the Taal volcano.

Footage from January 15 shows cars travelling on roads in Talisay and Lemery sweeping dust into the air.

Military checkpoints were set up to help with the evacuation of locals by pointing out the exclusion zones.

The volcano erupted on January 12 sending ash nine miles into the atmosphere and prompted a large scale evacuation as there are fears of another eruption.
