Since Mt.Makaturing is a
Stratovolcano we can say that
it is the same as Hibok-Hibok,
the volcano was built up by
many layers of hardened lava,
tephra, pumice and ash.
History of
Eruption
There is still some controversy on the number
of times Makaturing erupted. The Philippine
Institute of Volcanology and Seismology lists
10 eruptions with the last one occurring on
March 18, 1882. But the Smithsonian
Institution's Global Volcanology Program,
citing the Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the
World (Neumann van Padang, 1953), suggests
that some eruptions were actually those of
neighboring Ragang volcano.
