Do you recall the Pinatubo series of eruptions? Mount Pinatubo is in Zambales and is part of a
chain of volcanoes along the western part of Luzon. It erupted in June 1991 after 460 years of inactivity. It
brought extensive damage to infrastructure and agriculture.

How about the Taal Volcano Eruption last January 2020? On January 12, 2020, the Taal Volcano
in the Philippines awoke from 43 years of quiet and began to spew gases, ash, and lava into the air. In the
days and weeks that followed, the eruption dropped a layer of unusually wet, heavy ash on the surrounding
landscape, withering vegetation and turning the lush fields and forests of Volcano Island a ghostly gray.
