Laguna Caldera, Volcanic caldera in Rizal, Philippines.

The elliptical depression spans 12 by 24 kilometers, forming the central basin of Laguna de Bay with Mount Sembrano rising to 743 meters.

The caldera emerged through two major explosive eruptions, occurring approximately one million years ago and between 27,000 to 29,000 years ago.

The Jalajala Peninsula and Talim Island frame the volcanic structure, hosting local communities that have adapted to life near this geological formation.

No recent volcanic activity has been recorded at the site, with monitoring stations maintaining regular observations of the caldera's geological status.

The surrounding area contains undated maars at Talim Island's southern end and an active solfataric field on Mount Sembrano's southern slope.

Elevation above the sea: 743 m

GPS coordinates: 14.32305,121.25265
