What has historically been the deadliest volcano in the Philippines is not Mount Pinatubo, Mayon, or Taal. Instead, located on an island north of Mindanao is the Hibok-Hibok volcano which in 1951 produced a deadly eruption that caused 3,000 casualties. Hibok-Hibok is an interesting volcanic complex with an apparent capability to produce pelean eruptions and sometimes even rhyolite.
