It is located between 116° 40', and 126° 34' E. longitude and 4° 40' and 21° 10' N. latitude and borders the Philippine Sea on the east, the South China Sea on the west, and the Celebes Sea on the south.found in the Philippines.Most of the mountainous islands are covered in tropical rainforest and volcanic in origin. Here are the list of volcanoes found in the island of Philippines

Mount Bulusan

Mount Bulusan, or Bulusan Volcano, is the southernmost stratovolcano on Luzon Island in the Philippines. It is found in the province of Sorsogon in the Bicol region 70 km southeast of Mayon Volcano and approximately 250 km southeast of the Philippine capital of Manila.
Mount Bulusan, Sorsogon,Bicol Region, Philippines
Elevation : 1,565 m (5,135 ft)
Prominence : 1,547 m (5,075 ft)
Type : Stratovolcano
Last Eruption : 2007
It is one of the active volcanos in the Philippines.

Physical features

Bulusan is classified by volcanologists as a stratovolcano (composite volcano) inside a caldera that was formed about 40,000 years before the present. It has an elevation of 1,565 metres above sea level and a base diameter of 15 km.
It has four craters and four hot springs. Crater No. 1, called Blackbird Lake, is 20 m in diameter and 15 m deep. The oval Crater No. 2 is 60 m by 30 m and 15 m deep. Crater No. 3 is about 90 m in diameter and 20 m deep and Crater No. 4, which is near the northeastern, rim opened during the 1981 eruption. There is also a 100-meter fissure measuring 5 to 8 m wide below Crater No. 4.
Its hot springs are San Benon Springs, Mapaso Springs, San Vicente Springs, Masacrot Springs
Its adjacent volcanic edifices are Mt. Homahan, Mt. Binitacan, Mt. Batuan, Mt. Calungalan, Mt. Calaunan, Mt. Tabon-Tabon, Mt. Juban, and Mt. Jormajan.

Eruptions

Bulusan is generally known for its sudden steam-driven or phreatic explosions. It is one of the most active volcanos in the Philippines, and after Mayon, Taal and Pinatubo is considered the 4th most active, having erupted 15 times since 1886.
This is a profile of Mount Bulusan,
February 2007, with activity that appeared to be
 releasing gaseous material and ash.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) declared Alert Level 1 on 19 March 2006 after it recorded increased seismic unrest. On 8 June 2006, volcanologists raised Alert Level 2 (moderate level of seismic unrest) after it spewed ash. On 9 June , the resulting ash cloud damaged a number of houses in the nearby town of Casiguran, 5 km north of the volcano, and reached Sorsogon City, about 20 kilometres north of Bulusan.
On 13 June 2006, volcanologists said new craters were created by the mild explosions of Mount Bulusan. Aside from the new craters, two of the volcano's four craters appeared to have merged and cracks were observed on the crater on the western side of the summit. Another eruption took place on April 8, 2007.

Volcanic activity, July–October 2007

Following some signs of volcanic activity, on the morning of 31 July 2007, 9.37am (local time), there was a loud explosion described by locals as like a bomb going off. A cloud of steam and ash shot from Mount Bulusan, into the air to a height of 5 kilometres and drifted, to be deposited over the surrounding countryside. The eruption lasted for 20 minutes.
On 4 October 2007, two episodes of ash explosions occurred as recorded by the seismic network. The explosions were not visually observed due to thick clouds covering the volcano’s summit. The events were recorded as explosion type-earthquakes at 1:34 AM and 1:39 AM. The seismic network recorded 40 volcanic earthquakes and 8 short duration harmonic tremors during the previous 24 hours. Ground deformation surveys along the Inlagadian leveling line at the northeast flank indicated a slight inflation of the volcano’s edifice.
Field investigation conducted showed trace to light ashfalls affecting barangays San Roque, San Rafael, Sitio Tawog of Porog, Porog proper and Bulusan town proper, all in the municipality of Bulusan.
The October 2007 ash explosions at Bulusan Volcano were preceded by sporadic swarms of small to moderate-sized amplitude earthquakes, which began occurring on the last week of September 2007.There are evacuation procedures in place for parts of the peninsular, 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. These evacuations took place during the July -August episodes of activity. Phivolcs has not reported any further activity at Bulusan since October 2007.
