Mount Balatukan is a massive potentially active compound stratovolcano in the Southern island of Mindanao, Philippines.
[5][6] Mount Balatukan is wholly located in Province of Misamis Oriental in the Northern Mindanao region of the Philippines.
The coastal road between Balingasag, Misamis Oriental and Gingoog rims the northern perimeter of the mountain on the north coast of Mindanao.
Satellite imagery shows it to be densely forested peninsula jutting north into the Bohol Sea.
[10] The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) lists Balatukan as Inactive, even though the volcano displays fumarolic activity.
[11] In Bukidnon mythology, it is believed that upon death, all seven makatu (souls of a single person) combine into one and journeys into Mount Balatucan for final judgment.
