I’ve been surfing the internet for the “official number of volcanoes in the Philippines” – websites and forums have different answers. And it is so confusing!!!

So I visited the PhiVolcs Website and left them an email asking for the official number of Volcanoes.

Here is their answer:

“We have 300 named and unnamed volcanoes, 23 of which are considered to be active, 27 potentially active and the rest are inactive.”
