For many visitors to Tagaytay City in Cavite, the breathtaking vista of what they believe to be Taal Volcano has become an iconic image etched into their memories.



What may come as a surprise to many is that the picturesque sight they behold is not the actual Taal Volcano. In fact, it is just one of the 47 cones and craters that comprise the expansive Taal Volcano island.

Dubbed as Binintiang Malaki, this prominent mound has often been mistaken for the entirety of Taal Volcano itself. 

Taal Volcano versus Binintiang Malaki

Described as "the prettiest, most photographed, most painted, and most volcano-looking part of Taal Volcano Island" by Ms. Cagigas, Binintiang Malaki captivates visitors with its beauty and striking resemblance to the archetypal volcano.




Countless postcards and photographs further perpetuate the misconception, depicting Binintiang Malaki as Taal Volcano and contributing to its widespread recognition as such. However, the truth lies beyond the picturesque facade, awaiting discovery by those curious enough to delve deeper.

Binintiang Malake is not the Taal Volcano

Taal Volcano, situated on Volcano Island, looms over and behind the hill crowned by Binintiang Malaki. Accessible via boat across the lake, visitors embark on a journey to the volcano island, often opting for a leisurely horseback ride to approach the crater. Yet, while the allure of proximity to the crater is undeniable, lingering too close poses risks, particularly when sulfur emissions are prevalent.




For those seeking clarification, the esteemed Smithsonian Institution provides insight into Binintiang Malaki's origin and significance. Identified as a pyroclastic cone formed during an eruption in 1707, the 263-meter-high cone stands as the largest of the flank cones on Volcano Island, connected by a broad isthmus.

Armed with this newfound knowledge, visitors can now unravel the mystery of Taal Volcano and share the truth with others. So, the next time you find yourself gazing at the captivating sight of Binintiang Malaki, remember: it is but a fragment of the grandeur that is Taal Volcano, waiting to be explored and understood in its entirety.


You Have Been Deceived, This is the Real Taal Volcano

ECO SADDLE Floating Cottage in Lake Caliraya, Laguna


Taal Lake, a picturesque body of water nestled amidst the rolling landscapes of Batangas, Philippines, holds a secret within its depths—a secret of transformation that unfolded centuries ago. Prior to the cataclysmic eruption of 1754, Taal Lake was not the freshwater haven we know today; instead, it was a saltwater expanse teeming with life and history.



The seismic events of 1754 marked a turning point in the lake's narrative, as a volcanic eruption of unprecedented scale altered its very essence. Lasting an astonishing six months from May to December, the eruption reshaped the landscape and dynamics of Taal Lake in profound ways. One of the most notable changes was the shift from saltwater to freshwater—a transformation that reverberated across the ecosystem.

The alteration in salinity brought forth a cascade of transformations. The Pansipit River, once a wide passage through which majestic galleons navigated from Balayan Bay into Taal Lake, underwent a dramatic narrowing.


Eventually, the river's course was obstructed by the emergence of new land, leading to the formation of what is now Lemery, Batangas, in 1861—a testament to the ever-changing geography shaped by natural forces.




Amidst the turmoil, new islands emerged from the depths, such as Napayong Island in Tanauan, altering the topography and providing new habitats for diverse species. Among these species were the Maliputo and Tawilis, whose existence became intertwined with the lake's transformation.

The Maliputo, once identified as a Trevally or Talakitok, adapted to the freshwater environment, evolving into a distinct species reflective of Taal Lake's new identity. Similarly, the Tawilis, formerly a marine sardine, found itself confined within the lake's waters as the salinity shifted, leading to its unique status as a freshwater sardine.




Evidence of Taal Lake's saline past lies in its very bed, where fossils of ancient coral reefs serve as reminders of a bygone era. Yet, despite its transformation, echoes of its maritime history linger—a testament to the resilience and adaptability of nature.


The changes in Taal Lake reverberated beyond its shores, influencing the region's political landscape. With the capital shifting from Taal to Batangan, now known as Batangas City, in 1755, and the subsequent renaming of the province, the map of Batangas underwent a profound transformation—a reflection of the interplay between natural forces and human history.

In the face of nature's violent upheavals, the story of Taal Lake serves as a poignant reminder of the need to respect and adapt to the ever-changing world around us. As we navigate the currents of time, let us heed the lessons embedded in Taal's turbulent history, embracing the harmony between human existence and the forces of nature.
