| Leonard Kniaseff | c.120AD.[1] | There was a scare in 1995 butPHIVOLCS investigation at the time did not disclose any unusual activity, and no unusual activity has been reported since. |
| San Pablo Volcanic Field | 1350 AD +/- 100 | Last activity was the formation ofSampaloc Lake around 1350 AD +/- 100 years determined byanthropology[2] |
| Taal eruption | 1572 to 2022 | Currently oneruption since January 12, 2020. Eruptions have also destroyed numerous lakeside towns, burying them with volcanic ash or submerged them by rising lake waters displaced by the erupted material. The towns ofLipa,Taal, Sala,Bauan andTanauan were formerly located alongTaal Lake. Presently, only three towns are on the lake's shore. Remnants of the old lakeside towns are reported to be seen under the lake's waters.[3] |
| Mayon eruption | 1616 to 2018 | The most destructive eruption of Mayon occurred on February 1, 1814 (VEI=4). Lava flowed but not as much compared to the 1766 eruption; Instead, the volcano was belching dark ash and eventually bombarded the town ofCagsawa withtephra that buried it. Trees were burned; rivers were certainly damaged. Proximate areas were also devastated by the eruption, with ash accumulating to 9 m (30 ft) in depth. In Albay, a total of 2,200 locals perished in what is considered to be the most lethal eruption in Mayon's history; estimates byPHIVOLCS list the casualties at about 1,200, however. The eruption is believed to have contributed to the accumulation of atmospheric ash,[citation needed] capped by the catastrophic eruption ofMount Tambora in 1815, that led to theYear Without a Summer in 1816. |
| Pinatubo eruption | 1500 to 2021 | Reawakened in 1991 producing the 2nd largest eruption in the 20th century. Followed by milder eruptions in 1992 and 1993.[4] |
| Mt. Kanlaon eruption | 1886 to 2024 | The most active volcano in the Visayas, Kanlaon has erupted 26 times since 1919. Eruptions are typicallyphreatic explosions of small-to-moderate size that produce minor ash falls near the volcano. In 1902, the eruption was classified asstrombolian, typified by the ejection ofincandescentcinder,lapilli and lava bombs. |
| Bulusan eruption | 1886 to 2022 | Bulusan is generally known for its sudden steam-driven orphreatic explosions. It has erupted 16 times since 1885 and is considered as the 4th mostactive volcano in the Philippines after Mayon, Taal, and Kanlaon. There are evacuation procedures in place for parts of the peninsula, the farms nearest the volcano are evacuated, and many of the village schools are closed if it is considered possible that a more destructive eruption could occur. |
| Mt. Hibok-Hibok eruption | 1827, 1862, 1871 and 1948–1952 | On February 16, 1871,earthquakes andsubterranean rumblings began to be felt inCamiguin, which increased in severity until April 30 when avolcanic fissure opened up 400 yards southwest of the village ofCatarman, on the northwest flank of the Hibok-Hibok Volcano. From the opening, lava was continuously ejected and poured into the sea for four years destroying the town. At the same time, the vent started gaining in height and width thus formingMt. Vulcan. In 1875, theChallenger expedition visited the area, and described the mountain as a dome, about 1,950 feet (590 m) in height, without any crater, but still smoking and incandescent at the top.[5] |
