List of disasters in the Philippines.
Most of the Eruption recorded from potentially active Stratovolcano according to dated Lava flows .
Eruptions have also destroyed numerous lakeside towns, burying them with volcanic ash or submerged them by rising lake waters displaced by the erupted material. Lipa, Taal, Sala, Bauan and Tanauan were formerly located along Taal Lake. Presently, only three towns are on the lake's shore. Remnants of the old lakeside towns are reported to be seen under the lake's waters.
There are no recorded of events nor few about earthquake before the History was written, but it would be possibly causes by collision of Tectonic Plates and Volcanic Eruptions, resulting to an earthquakes, and forming another Mountains , Volcanoes and even Lakes.
For example, the Taal Volcano, This is a part of a chain of volcanoes along the island of Luzon, which were formed by two tectonic plates colliding over 500,000 years ago. Since the formation of this large caldera, subsequent eruptions created another volcanic island, within Taal Lake, known as Volcano Island.

An intensity VII struck Lake Bombon (now known as Taal Lake) on September 24, 1716. It was connected with the eruption of Taal volcano; the constant volcanic activity in the area of Taal caused seismic movements.
An intensity IX struck Tayabas (now known as Quezon) in 1730. It had ruined the churches and convent in Mauban and several other churches in the province of Tayabas and Laguna.
An earthquake on June 3, 1863, destroyed the Manila Cathedral, the Ayuntamiento (City Hall), the Governor's Palace (all three located at the time on Plaza Mayor, now Plaza de Roma) and much of the city.

There are no recorded disaster about typhoons in the Philippines Before the History was written, typhoons were never given names.
Extinctions Might caused by the natural calamities, like Climate changes, Astronomical Events, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, Wild fires and even floods these disasters and even human huntings can resulted to extinctions.
