Mount Macolod

Mount Macolod, also known as Mount Maculot, is a dormant stratovolcano located in the municipality of Cuenca, Batangas in the Philippines. This mountain is popular among mountain climbers and campers; it is the major tourist attraction of the municipality of Cuenca. Every year on Holy Week, thousands of pilgrims from nearby towns and provinces climb the mountain as a form of penance. 
The mountain is sacred to both Christian and Anitist adherents.
Geography.
The mountain is about tall and is also located adjacent to Taal Lake. Mount Macolod and its high volcanic rock wall called "The Rockies" are said to be part of Taal Caldera's crater rim.
Geological history.
Based on studies on Taal, it is believed that an ancient Taal Cone was formed by buildup of large volume dacitic pyroclastic materials more than 140,000 years ago. Several major catastrophic eruptions probably between 27,000 and 5,000 years ago destroyed this greater Taal Cone and ultimately formed the depression now known as Taal Caldera. This depression was filled by water, thus forming a lake. The younger Volcano Island was formed by numerous explosive hydrovolcanic eruptions in the middle of the lake after the collapse.
The slopes of the previous volcano now formed ridges surrounding the lake. Mount Macolod is not only a volcanic cone on the south side but also the highest caldera rim of the former Taal Cone. Tagaytay Ridge, to the north, is the northern rim of the caldera with Mount Sungay its highest elevation.
