Even dormant volcanoes are becoming active and not only that, but also extinct volcanoes are coming back to life. An extinct volcano by definition is dead volcano, which has not erupted in the last 10,000 years and is not expected to ever erupt again.
Maria Makiling, more properly Mariang Makiling, is a diwata or lambana in Philippine mythology, associated with Mount Makiling in Laguna, Philippines. In addition to being a guardian of the mountain, some legends also identify Laguna de Bay-and the fish caught from it-as part of her domain.

Dormant volcanoes have not erupted for a very long time but may erupt at a future time. Extinct volcanoes are not expected to erupt in the future. Inside an active volcano is a chamber in which molten rock, called magma, collects.
Taal volcano is in a caldera system located in southern Luzon island and is one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines. It has produced around 35 recorded eruptions since 3,580 BCE, ranging from VEI 1 to 6, with the majority of eruptions being a VEI 2.
There are about 300 volcanoes in the Philippines. Twenty-two (22) of these are active while the larger percentage remains dormant as of the record. The majority of the active volcanoes are located in the island of Luzon. The six most active volcanoes are Mayon, Hibok-Hibok, Pinatubo, Taal, Kanlaon and Bulusan.
Hibok-Hibok volcano (also known as Catarman volcano) is the youngest and the only historically active volcano on Camiguin Island, which is located 9 km off the north coast of Mindanao Island, Philippines.
Makiling: "crooked" or "bent"
As for the word "Makiling", it has been noted that the mountain rises from Laguna de Bay "to a rugged top and breaks into irregular hills southward, thus 'leaning' or 'uneven. By this etymology, the mountain would have been named after the bamboo and the lady named after the mountain.Mayon, located in the Philippines, is a highly active stratovolcano with recorded historical eruptions dating back to 1616. The most recent eruptive episode began in early January 2018 that consisted of phreatic explosions, steam-and-ash plumes, lava fountaining, and pyroclastic flows (BGVN 43:04). All eyes are on the rumbling Mount Mayon, a perfectly cone-shaped volcano that could spew its dangerous contents at any moment.

Mt. Makiling can be accessed via two trails: the Sto Tomas Trail in Batangas, and the Mariang Makiling Trail in University of the Philippines – Los Baños (UPLB) in Laguna. These two trails can be utilized in a single hike, with entry from Sto. Tomas, known as “MakTrav†or Makiling Traverse.
Pre-caldera eruptions formed basaltic to basaltic-andesitic volcanoes, including the extinct Talim Island and Mount Sembrano stratovolcanoes located on opposite sides of the current caldera. The caldera has formed during at least 2 major explosive eruptions about 1 million and 27,000-29,000 years ago. Mount Canlaon, also called Canlaon Volcano, active volcano, north-central portion of the island of Negros, Philippines. It lies about 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Bacolod. Part of the volcanic Cordillera Central, it is, at 8,086 feet (2,465 m), the highest point in the Visayan Islands.
Dormant → Dormant volcanoes are volcanoes that have not erupted in a long time but are expected to erupt again in the future. Examples of dormant volcanoes are Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa and Mount Fuji in Japan. Extinct → Extinct volcanoes are those which have not erupted in human history.
Holocene volcanoes are volcanoes that have been active in the last 11 700 years. This time period is the current geological epoch.
