taal lake, formerly known as bombón lake, is a freshwater lake in the province of batangas, on the island of luzon in the philippines. the lake fills taal caldera, a large volcanic caldera formed by very large eruptions between 500,000 and 100,000 years ago. it is the country's third-largest lake, after laguna de bay and lake lanao. volcano island, the location of taal volcano's historical eruptions and responsible for the lake's sulfuric content, lies near the center of the lake. there is a crater lake on volcano island. known as the yellow lake or the main crater lake, it contains its own small island, vulcan point. vulcan point was thought to be the largest third-order island in the world, but treasure island (ontario) is much bigger and is thought to be the world largest, and is also on a freshwater lake.

excavations in rizal, kalinga in the cagayan valley of northern luzon in the philippines yielded 57 stone tools associated with an almost-complete disarticulated skeleton of "rhinoceros philippinensis" showing clear signs of butchery, together with other fossil fauna remains. the finds originate in a clay-rich bone bed dated to between 777,000 and 631,000 years. this evidence pushed back the proven period of colonization of the philippines by hundreds of thousands of years, and suggested that early overseas dispersal in island south east asia by premodern hominins took place several times during the early and middle pleistocene, and that the philippines may have had a central role in southward movements of archaic hominids into wallacea. this pushes back occupation of the philippines to before the known origin of homo sapiens. similarly-aged remains of hominins were found in flores island in indonesia also along pacific ocean. some scientists pointed out that from luzon to flores along pacific ocean, the probable source of the mysterious living form could be the geographical center of the two points, which points to the present pacific side of the samar island. the possibility that lawan in samar island in an important part of the polynesian civilization was confirmed somehow by a finding in an australian study that the pacific island philippines could be the homeland of polynesians in the pacific oceans. the migration of the filipinos to different pacific islands who are identified today as polynesians and inwards into the philippine islands like in tondo happened slowly in thousands of years and is evidenced by an existence of an ancient shipping industry based in palapag which was later converted into the shipping repair stations of the galleon trade and is identified by some historians as the so-called "lakanate of lawan" once headed by datu iberein and was mentioned by henry scott in his writings, particularly in the "bingi of lawan.
