Talisay is situated along the lakefront and its

topography is longitudinal traversing many minor
ridges and drainage basins (valleys). The terrain of
Talisay can be best described as having a gently
rolling to steeping undulating landform. Most of
the lakefront areas are generally flat except for
the westernmost barangay, Sampaloc where the
drop is quite abrupt. The highest elevation, rising
more than 560 meters, is located near the
Tagaytay City boundary in northern Quiling.

It has population of approximately 46,238

wherein it is 3rd class municipality in the province
of Batangas and a landlocked municipality in the
coastal province of Batangas.

Talisay is a 3rd class municipality in the province

of Batangas, Philippines. It is politically subdivided
into 21 barangays, namely: Barangay Aya,
Barangay Balas, Barangay Banga, Barangay Buco, Barangay Caloocan, Barangay Leynes, Barangay
Miranda, Poblacion Barangay 1, Poblacion Barangay 2, Poblacion Barangay , Poblacion Barangay 4,
Poblacion Barangay 5, Poblacion Barangay 6, Poblacion Barangay 7, Poblacion Barangay 8, Barangay
Quiling, Barangay Sampaloc, Barangay San Guillermo, Barangay Santa Maria, BarangayTranca and
Barangay Tumaway.

Tumaway is a barangay in the municipality of Talisay, in the province of Batangas. Its population as
determined by the 2020 Census was 3,572. This represented 7.73% of the total population of Talisay.
Certain portions of Talisay are very much suited for agriculture, especially growing crops and
seedling/sapling production. Generally, land capability based on the data from BSWM shows low
suitability for built uses due to its soil type, very steep (50 and above %), low-high elevation (5-522
meters), permeability, and perennial flooding incidence.

Additionally, Talisay is situated near Taal Volcano with proximately 14 kilometers danger zone.
Based on historical accounts on Taal Volcano though considered the lowest volcano in the world, is
one of the deadliest in the Philippines. Volcanologists consider Taal one of the world’s ten (10)
deadliest volcanoes. Together with Mayon Volcano, Taal is one of the most observed because of the
unpredictability of its behavior. From 1989 up to 1990 it showed signs of abnormality but was
considered within background levels. However, PHIVOLCS is maintaining close watch. Based on
historical accounts of Taal Volcano, there have been thirty-four (34) eruptions from 1572. Taal’s
eruption range from one (1) day to six (6) months. Its dormancy lasts from one (1) to sixty-two (62)
years. Taal has a relatively shorter repose period between eruptions. The more violent eruptions
occurred in 1754, 1911, and 1965 and 2020. The 2020 eruption had a zone of destruction as far as a
14-kilometer diameter of electrical discharges.
 With that in mind, the Batangas provincial disaster risk reduction and management office (PDRRMO)
has now put over 15 areas in lockdown status while more than 10 municipalities are in total
lockdown. DOST PHIVOLCS strongly reiterates the total evacuation of the residents in Taal volcano
island and high risk areas within the 14-km radius from taal crater. The National Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) on Saturday said the number of individuals affected
by the Taal Volcano eruption has reached 348,563 which is equivalent to a total of 90,533 families
while The total damage to agriculture due to the Taal Volcano eruption has reached
P3,215,788,882.00 in Batangas, Laguna, and Cavite. In late June 2021, Taal Volcano, located in the
province of Batangas in the Philippines, has experienced increased volcanic activity, prompting the
evacuation of thousands from surrounding towns. Taal had been dormant for 43 years until it
became active again in January 2020.
