Panamao, Biliran Volcano, by Biliran on Aug 28, 2011 23:56:49 GMT 8, The Biliran Volcano is a large Compound Volcano or Complex Volcano forming the Island of Biliran off the north coast of Leyte Province in the Visayas region of the Philippines. Biliran Island contains many prominent andesitic lava domes, five fumarole fields and the most recent activity was a phreatic explosive eruption and debris avalanche at a thermal area at Mt. Suiro in 1939 with ashfall over Caibiran on the east coast. Possible other Biliran Volcano eruptions are said to have taken place at Mt. Pananao between Almeria and Kawayan in 1669 and another in Caibiran around 1800 near the site of the current Biliran Geothermal project.
The Biliran Volcano is listed as one of the few active Volcanos in the Philippines and was monitored in 1954 when it was feared the Volcano was close waking from its sleep. The Island has many Thermal areas, Mud Pools and Hot Springs such as in Libtong in Naval Municipality and the Mainit Hot Spring in Caibiran that have become popular tourist attractions.
Biliran and Leyte Province are also prone to earthquakes as they are on the Central Leyte Fault line, part of the Philippine Fault Zone. The Fault line passes right up the spine of Leyte Island and then along the seabed between Biliran and Calubian Municipality in Leyte Province.

Panamao, Biliran Volcano, by Austinjs on Nov 7, 2014 12:51:24 GMT 8, I am writing a novel based in Biliran. However, I have never been to the Philippines. I want to include a legend of mount Panamao, but I am having trouble finding a map with its location. My character lives in Naval and I was wondering if the mountain is visible from the coast off Naval or Almeria? Any input helps. Thank you, Austin

1734 Map showing Biliran Island then named as Panamao, and Biliran Town marked showing the Island deformed from what we now know as its true shape. But you can still see Dalutan and Capinahan Islands along the west coast, and of course (Gigatangan) Higatangan and Maripipi.
Looking at the whole of this historic 1734 Map of the Philippines its actually amazing how accurate it is, its only the close up details that are slightly wrong with Island shapes and town locations.
