Mt Pinatubo is a composite volcano and the lava is primarily dacitic making it explosive and highly viscous. Dacite would likely erupt at about 800 degrees Celsius.

They both depend on eruptions for their formation but lava tubes form only in large flows of low-viscosity, basaltic,lava. I don't know if this applies to Mt. Pinatubo.
