As far as I know Mount Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines. Since 1616 there were 47 eruptions. From 1616 until 2002 at least 1300 people died and tons of people got homeless as a result of all the eruptions. The most recent eruptions were in 1947, 1984 and 1993. In 1993 the activity started with explosions. Half an hour later, flows of lava and pyroclastic flows came out of the crater in the top of the volcano. It killed 68 people and 60.000 people had to be evacuated.
