Geologist Felicitas Piligan said the six most active volcanoes in the area are Mounts Didicas,

Smith, Babuyan, and Cagua in Cagayan; and Iraya and Dequey in Batanes. The Didicas Volcano is
one of the smallest and most active volcanoes in the Philippines with an elevation of 244
meters.

The Didicas Volcano is one of the smallest and most active volcanoes in the Philippines with an
elevation of 244 meters. It has already erupted seven times from 1773 up to 1990.
Didicas volcano, 22 km NE of Camiguin Island, was a submarine volcano prior to 1952,
when a permanent island was formed. Didicas now consists of a small, 244-m-high lava dome
about 1.4 km in longest exposed dimension with a 400-m-wide crater.
The first recorded eruption of Didicas was in 1773. An earlier cone of fragmental material
reached a height of 213 m in 1860, after a four-year-long eruption, but soon was eroded
beneath the sea. Three rock masses were left after an eruption in 1900.
Two eruptions have occurred since 1952 at an explosion crater on the north side.

Smith Volcano has an elevation of 688 meters above sea level and had erupted six times
already, the last known eruption was recorded in 1924. Babuyan Claro (Mt. Pangasun) is the
largest and second youngest of 5 volcanoes that built up Babuyan Island, 100 km off the north
coast of Luzon, Philippines. Babuyan Claro is an active stratovolcano of ca. 7 cubic km volume
and has 2 summit craters of 300 and 400 m in diameter.
Smith volcano (Mt. Babuyan) 4 km to the NW of Babuyan Claro is the youngest volcano on the
island and forms a beautiful 668 m high symmetrical basaltic-andesite cinder cone with ca. 3
cubic km volume.
Both Babuyan Claro and Smith volcanoes have apparently been active in historical time,
although it is not always certain which volcano erupted. Eruptions at Babuyan Claro are
typically strombolian and/or phreatomagmatic.
The Askedna Hot Spring is located at the southern base of Babuyan Claro.

Background:
The oldest volcanoes (Cayonan, Naydi, and Dionisio) started to form 1.7 million years ago and
consist mainly of calc-alkaline andesitic and basaltic andesitic lava flows.

1980 landslide
Hot mudflows were triggered by a landslide 600 m above sea level on the NW flank of Babuyan
Claro volcano in early February 1980. The mudflows (lahars) damaged rice fields and roads, and
forced the evacuation of nearby residents. (Source: GVP monthly reports)
The Babuyan Claro Volcano has an elevation of 1,080 meters above sea level. It erupted in
1831, 1860, 1913 and 1917. Babuyan Claro (Mt. Pangasun) is the largest and second youngest
of 5 volcanoes that built up Babuyan Island, 100 km off the north coast of Luzon, Philippines.
Babuyan Claro is an active stratovolcano of ca. 7 cubic km volume and has 2 summit craters of

Mt Cagua is 3,717 feet high with a distinct summit crater. An explosive eruption was recorded
in 1860. Signs of activity were observed in 1907 but no eruptions took place and the volcano
has been quiet since. Cagua Volcano is a stratovolcano located in the Philippine province of
Cagayan. It is one of the active volcanoes in the Philippines and has erupted twice in recorded
history. Its last eruption was in 1907. Cagua is one of the active volcanoes in the Philippines
located in the province of Cagayan in the Cagayan Valley Region of northern Luzon in the
northernmost part of the Sierra Madre mountain range. The mountain is approximately 12
kilometres (7.5 mi) south of Gonzaga, Cagayan and 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) south of Port Irene in
Santa Ana, Cagayan. Cagua is an active stratovolcano at the NE tip of northern Luzon Island,
Philippines. It has a circular summit crater of 1.5 km diameter, with steep, 60-m-high walls, and
is locally known as the "Fire Mountain". The volcano might have erupted in 1907, when strong
fumarole activity was noted. A phreatic explosion in 1860 may have generated pyroclastic
flows.
At present, there are thermal areas near the summit crater and on the NW and NNE flanks.

Background:
Mount Cagua volcano belongs to the Babuya segment where it is part of a N-S line of the active
volcanoes, east of the older, now extinct volcanic range of Northern Luzon.
The lavas of Cagua are basaltic and andesitic in composition and belong to the calcalkaline
series.
The volcano has been formed in 3 phases:

1) Effusive eruptions feeding basaltic-andesite and basaltic lava flows between 1.5 and 1.2
Million years ago.
2) Explosive eruptions with thick andesitic pyroclastic flows in the interval from 600,000 -
300,000 years ago. These deposits covered the entire volcano.
3) Recent phreatomagmatic activity producing ash flows.

The Dequey Volcano, an underwater volcano, is located in Batanes. With an elevation of 24

meters below sea level, it has erupted three times - 1773, 1850 and 1854. It is considered as the
Philippines’ most active undersea volcano.

Mt Iraya is an active volcano that dominates the views in the island of Batan in Batanes.
Philvocs regards it as an active volcano, but its last recorded eruption was in 1454.

Camiguin de Babuyanes volcano is a small stratovolcano on the SW tip of the 22 km long

Camiguin Island in the Babuyan archipelago, 35 km off the north tip of Luzon Island.
Note: A volcanic island called Camiguin is located off the north coast of Mindanao Island.

Background:
The andesitic Camiguin volcano is forested and has 2 prominent flank cones relatively far from
the main summit vent, Minabul to the north and Caanoan to the east, both on the northern
part of the island.
The southern part of Camiguin Island has 3 volcanic centers aligned SSE-NNW, Mount Camiguin
stratovolcano itself and the young andesitic lava domes of Mt. Malabsing and Pamoctan.
A phreatic eruption, possibly in part submarine, happened around 1857. At present, there are
fumaroles on the SW, W and E flanks of the volcano and a hot boiling water spring near sea
level on the W flank.
