Active volcanoes in the Philippines, as categorized by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and

Seismology (PHIVOLCS), include volcanoes in the country having erupted within historical times
(within the last 600 years), with accounts of these eruptions documented by humans; or having
erupted within the last 10,000 years (holocene) based on analyses of datable materials. However,
there is no consensus among volcanologists on how to define an "active" volcano. As of 2012,
PHIVOLCS lists 23 volcanoes as active in the Philippines, 21 of which have historical eruptions;
one, Cabalian, which is strongly fumarolic volcano[further explanation needed]; and one, Leonard Kniaseff, which
was active 1,800 years ago (C14).[1]
There are 50 Philippines volcanoes listed by the royal Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism
Program (GVP) at present,[2] of which 20 are categorized as "historical" and 59 as "Holocene".[2] The
GVP lists volcanoes with historical, Holocene eruptions, or possibly older if strong signs of volcanism
are still evident through thermal features like fumaroles, hot springs, mud pots, etc.[3]
