A Series Of Unfortunate Events In The Philippines

This is a list of unfortunate events happened in the Philippines history as of writing. This covered natural disaster such as volcanic eruption, typhoon, earthquakes, and mass death caused by terrorism.

List down below according to chronological order.

* Eruption of Mount Panay - Last eruptive activity is thought to be about 500,000 years ago.

* Eruption of Mount Arayat - The ancient eruptions were said to have caused the formation of a Lava Dome on the Western Slopes of the mountain known as White Rock which makes a nice tourist destination and is usually a field trip destination for students of Pampanga Agricultural College. No date estimate of the event but maybe probably occurred 10,000 years ago.

* Eruption of Mount Natib - Date estimate is 69,000 - 27,000 years ago.

* Eruption of Mt.Masaraga - No date estimate of the event but maybe probably occurred 10,000 years ago.

* Eruption of Laguna Caldera - The caldera, whose lake surface is only 1m above sea level, may have formed by least two major eruptions of about 1 million and 27,000-29,000 years ago.

* Eruption of Mount Malinao - Believed to have been active from about 500,000 years ago until 60,000 years ago.

* Eruption of Cuernos de Negros - An earlier study in 1971 (Ebasco Services) dated the eruptive products between 69,000 +/- 27,000 years old.

* Eruption of Ancestral Pinatubo - The activity of Ancestral Pinatubo seems to have begun about 1.1 million years ago and probably ended tens of thousands or more before the birth of 'Modern Pinatubo'. Much of the rugged land surrounding the present volcano consists of remnants of 'ancestral' Pinatubo.

* Eruption of Mt.Mariveles - Last activity indicated by Radiocarbon dating occurring around mid-Holocene or about 2050 BCE.

* Eruption of Taal - The Series of eruptions create a Caldera Lake for a long time, Showing signs of unrest since and permanently monitored. Occurred on 1572 to 1977 and 1991.

* Earthquake Magnitude 7.5 - Luzon island, November 30, 1645, Death more than 600 and more that 3,000 injured

* Eruption of Mayon - The most destructive eruption of Mayon occurred on February 1, 1814. Lava flowed but not as much compared to the 1766 eruption; Instead, the volcano was belching dark ash and eventually bombarded the town of Cagsawa with tephra that buried it. Trees were burned; rivers were certainly damaged. Proximate areas were also devastated by the eruption, with ash accumulating to 9 m (30 ft) in depth. In Albay, a total of 2,200 locals perished in what is considered to be the most lethal eruption in Mayon's history; estimates by PHIVOLCS list the casualties at about 1,200, however. The eruption is believed to have contributed to the accumulation of atmospheric ash,[citation needed] capped by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815, that led to the Year Without a Summer in 1816. Date of unrest was 1616 to 2014.

* Typhoon Angela - Happened on September 22, 1867 with death of 1,800.

* 1881 Typhoon - September 27, 1881, death toll of 20,000.

* 1897 Typhoon - October 7, 1897 death toll of 1,500.

* Erupstion of Mt.Kanlaon - The most active volcano in central Philippines, Kanlaon has erupted 26 times since 1919. Eruptions are typically phreatic explosions of small-to-moderate size that produce minor ash falls near the volcano. In 1902, the eruption was classified as strombolian, typified by the ejection of incandescent cinder, lapilli and lava bombs.

* Eruption of Bulusan - Bulusan is generally known for its sudden steam-driven or phreatic explosions. It has erupted 15 times since 1885 and is considered as the 4th most active volcano in the Philippines after Mayon, Taal, and Kanlaon, There are evacuation procedures in place for parts of the peninsula

* Eruption of Mt.Hibok-hibok - On February 16, 1871, earthquakes and subterranean rumblings began to be felt on the island, which increased in severity until April 30 when a volcanic fissure opened up 400 yards southwest of the village of Catarman, on the northwest flank of Hibok-hibok Volcano. From the opening, lava was continuously ejected and poured into the sea for four years destroying the town. At the same time, the vent started gaining in height and width thus forming Mt. Vulcan. In 1875, the Challenger expedition visited the area, and described the mountain as a dome, about 1,950 feet (590 m) in height, without any crater, but still smoking and incandescent at the top. Date of unrest was 1827, 1862, 1871, and 1948 to 1952.

* Earthquake Magnitude 8.3 - Panay, January 25, 1948, estimated death is 50.

* Earthquake Magnitude 7.3 - Casiguran Aurora, August 2, 1968, death 271 and injured 261.

* Typhoon Yoling - November 14, 1970, death 241.

* Earthquake Magnitude 7.9 - Moro gulf, August 16, 1976, death 4791, missing 2288 and injured 9928.

* Earthquake Magnitude 6.5 - Laoag, August 17, 1983, death 16 and injured 47.

* Typhoon Nitang - September 3-6, 1984, death toll 1492.

* Eruption of Mt. Pinatubo - Reawakened in 1990 producing the 2nd largest eruption in the 20th century. Followed by milder eruptions in 1992 and 1993,On July 16, 1990, the major 1990 Luzon earthquake of magnitude 7.7 struck central Luzon. This was the largest earthquake recorded in 1990.

* Earthquake Magnitude 7.8 - Luzon island, July 16, 1990, death 1666, missing 1000 and injured more than 3000.

* Typhoon Uring - November 4, 1991, death 5,081.

* Earthquake Magnitude 7.1 - Mindoro, November 15, 1994, death 78 and injured 430.

* Earthquake Magnitude 7.5 - Mindanao island, March 5, 2002, death 15 and injured 100.

* Typhoon Winnie - November 27-30, 2004, death toll 1,593.

* Typhoon Reming - November 29 - December 1, 2006, death toll 1,399.

* Typhoon Frank - June 20 - 23, 2008, death toll 1410.

* Typhoon Ondoy - September 24-30, 2009, Death toll 747.

* Typhoon Sendong - December 16, 2011, Northern Mindanao, death 1,472, missing 1,748 and injured 1,748.

* Earthquake Magnitude 6.7 - Negros Oriental, February 6, 2012, death 51, missing 62 and injured 112.

* Typhoon Pablo - December 2-9, 2012, Southeast Mindanao, death toll 1,901.

* Earthquake Magnitude 7.2 - Bohol and Cebu islands, October 15, 2013, death 222, missing 8 and injured 796.

* Typhoon Yolanda - November 7-8, 2013, Visayas group of islands, death 6,241.

* Earthquake Magnitude 6.7 - Surigao peninsula, February 10, 2017, death 8 and injured 202.
