the tripoint boundary of the Philippine provinces of Zambales, Tarlac and Pampanga, all
in Central Luzon on the northern island of Luzon.[3][4] Its eruptive history was unknown to
most before the pre-eruption volcanic activities of 1991, just before June. Pinatubo was
heavily eroded, inconspicuous and obscured from view. It was covered with
dense forests which supported a population of several thousand indigenous Aetas.
Pinatubo volcano exploded spectacularly on 15 June 1991. The Pinatubo
eruption on 15 June 1991 was the second largest volcanic eruption of the 20th
century.

one of the most picturesque and attractive views in the Philippines.[3] It is located about 50
kilometres (31 miles) south of the capital of the country, the city of Manila
Mayon, the most famous of the active volcanoes of the Philippines, is a perfect
stratovolcano rising to 2462 m on Luzon Island. It erupts very frequently.
