The Philippine Archipelago has approximately more than 200 volcanoes. These are distributed in five volcanic belts intimately related to subduction/convergent processes. Of these, at least 22 are considered active and several have erupted in recent times. Mayon and Taal are the most active followed by Pinatubo, Bulusan, Kanlaon and Hibok-hibok.
