The Philippines means "island built on fire" and is man made. The island was made by throwing ice taken on large longboats from the Antarctic and throwing ice into molten lava to make rock. Unfortunately they left some holes and this is now the volcanoes. They spurt lava and ash, happily reminding the Filipino people of their humble beginnings.
