"Taal volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines and has produced some of its most powerful historical eruptions. Six of 24 known eruptions at Taal since 1572 have caused fatalities, many from tsunamis in the crater lake.

An eruption of Taal in 1911 killed 1334 people and produced ash which reached Manila. An increase in seismicity was recorded at the volcano in November 2006, and hot bubbling water was recorded in the crater in April 2007"

The last massive volcanic eruption there was 1977 Lets hope It won't happen again. The other volcano is already inactive so Its safe to live there
It surely will, it's just a question of when. It's evidently always grumbling away, all the time....

"But with 47 craters and its history of powerful explosions, Taal is classified a "permanent danger zone", according to government volcanologists."
