The title is wrong. It is NOT a lake in a volcano in a lake in a volcano! It is an island (growing into the plug of a new volcano) in a lake (crater lake) in an island (Taal Volcano Island) in a lake (Lake Taal) in a volcano (Philippines) in a lake (Pacific Ocean). Do not visit Philippines without going there. Start at Talisay Marketplace (parking), boat to the island (1500 php), then walk up to the top of the track (1-1.5 hours), with maybe one or two horses for a small group, cold drinks 50 php at the top. They serve free ice-cold beer at the top. Watch out for jets of steam next to yellow sulphur deposits on the rocks, then WALK down (30 minutes), let the horses go alone. Going down a steep track on a horse is dangerous, if you can walk. Try to support those lovely people by buying things here and there. The first ever cafe just opened by the landing point. As you climb UP, see a very steep mountain on your right, Binintiang Malaki (Big leg). They say it is NOT a volcano, but it IS, just dormant for 1000 years. Nobody is allowed there, as it is so steep and dangerous. I go there very often; great place! Take goggles (bushes have terrible long thorns), gloves, long sleeves, long socks and long Pants, or you will regret it. Do not hold grass to help you. It will cut your fingers off. Nice flat grassy place to camp on the north face, can't miss it. We call it "Blood island Volcano" because there is no blood (until you hold the grass), it's not an island, and it is not an active volcano. I have written a 4 page history of Taal Volcano, full of beautiful personal accounts and stories since 1515. Nobody going to Taal or Binintiang must wear slippers (flip-flops, sandals). You will see dead slippers on the tracks everywhere, and rocks will burn your bare feet. If you want my "essay" by email, just ask. I can also give you a good contact for boat, horses, guides etc. Taal is my Fairy Wonderland. I am at andygudgy at gmail dott com or 09199 764826 or text Maridio 099944 52439 Dr Andy Gudgeon Oh, by the way, I lied about the free cold beer.
EVERY country in the world has slums. Even in wealthy countries, the wealth is not distributed equally and many are poor. There are many slums in the US. Too often, a human being is greedy and will not share. That is true on the entire planet.
This is why, when I see the photo, I do not judge Philippines. Instead, I have feelings in my heart for the people in the picture. Do you not have those same feelings? Or is your foolish pride more important to you than the people in the picture?
You must be a very insecure person, one who feels shame too easily, if you are angry about a simple photograph.
It is no secret what happens in this world. For example: many nations in Africa have civil war and mass starvation. The African dictators try to hide it, but in reality, it is no secret.
Phil. is a beautiful country with beautiful people. That is why tourists vist.

The island looked like a giant whale here
this was once a hill that now looked like a sharpned pencil due to heavy quarrying
A typical residential street within the suburbs of Metro Manila.
i used a tripod and made about five to six shots with different exposure time and combined them manually at the computer. like HDR or DRI techniques.
