    The Philippines is one of the world's top producers of

    geothermal power, owing to its location along the Ring


    of Fire zone of Pacific volcanoes. According to the
    International Geothermal Association (IGA),
    worldwide, the Philippines ranks second to the United
    States in producing geothermal energy.
