About
Mount Santo Tomas (Ilocano: Bantay Santo Tomas, Tagalog: Bundok Santo Tomas) is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Philippines located in the municipality of Tuba in the province of Benguet. The mountain is part of the protected Santo Tomas Forest Reserve declared through Proclamation No. 581 signed by President Manuel L. Quezon on July 9, 1940.
On May 5, 2015, a Permanent Environmental Protection Order was issued by the Court of Appeals with the Writ of Kalikasan and Writ of Continuing Mandamus.
Due to its high elevation, several communications and broadcasting companies constructed relay stations at the summit.
