Philippine authorities suspended flights from Manila's main international airport "until further notice" on Sunday after a massive ash cloud spewed from a volcano south of the capital.

Transport secretary Arthur Tugade had instructed aviation officials to "do whatever is necessary in the interest of public safety", said a joint statement from air and transport authorities.
