Balut volcano, also known as Sanguil, forms a small island in the Sarangani Island group south of the Batulaki Peninsula of southern Mindanao. Hot springs and thermally altered ground are located on the W and SW flanks. Reports in Mindanao of a major eruption in 1641 CE from an unknown volcano to the south, which caused darkness over much of Mindanao, were originally attributed to Balut; later work indicated that the source was Melebingoy, ~80 km NW of Balut on southern Mindanao.
